"Adrien and Felicity’s performances are completely their own," says Corbet, after details emerged on how AI technology was used in the editing of the actors' scenes spoken in Hungarian.

The A24 film is under fire after editor Dávid Jancsó revealed an AI tool was used to perfect the actors' Hungarian dialect.

Director Brady Corbet has defended the use of artificial intelligence in his award-winning film The Brutalist. In the epic drama, Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones play Hungarian-Jewish Holocaust survivors László and Erzsébet Tóth who emigrate to America in search of a better life.
