Constantly on the hunt and suffering from hallucinations that drive his violent nature, an unnamed man is capturing women and savagely beating them to death. Meanwhile, a woman is luring men into a violent end, by way of her knife. Driven by the same force to make the opposite sex suffer, the killers’ fates intertwine. The two must face off in a battle to the death, in which they are forced to reveal the horrible truth behind their addiction to murder.
“Brutal” takes an interesting approach to its visuals, drawing heavy influence from Western “Grindhouse” films, using a filter to make the footage appear grainy, damaged, and with light and color fluctuations. Unfortunately, the visual styling ends up feeling misguided, as other than applying the filter it does not imitate any other aspects of the “Grindhouse” genre. Despite trying to dirty up the film, it is apparent it was shot on digital. The cinematography is also a step above most “Grindhouse” productions, with Takashi Hirose proving he has talent behind the camera. Exterior shots to those taking place in small spaces are all competently framed, lit, and transition well. The decision to add an effect on top of the work hurts the film’s imagery and even gives a sense of desperation to try to capture a certain type of nostalgia with the audience, instead of relying on its own strengths. It is unfortunate when one creative choice can hurt a production so much.
The story of “Brutal” is simple but effective, it does attempt some sort of social commentary about the violent nature of men and women, but it does not offer enough depth into the subject to justify the amount of violence on display. The film does end on a strong note with an interesting twist, with a reveal that is bound to gross some out, while giving others a chuckle. In spite of its simple nature, those who enjoy films that make them somewhat uncomfortable and enjoy the challenge of getting through some ultra-violence, “Brutal” poses a fun and entertaining challenge in that regard.
好的卡司确实能够掩盖剧本的局促，并且让影像高于平庸版本的真正舞台。2001-2011-2021，时代U字回转。
I’m so glad her first orgasm is with herself!
似乎是都柏林内片儿的发音，but发成[bɒʃ]，太性感了啊~
"Twenty years after 9/11. Fourteen months into the shutdown." 我就这么说了，看十篇911纪念专题报道不如看一遍CFA。片尾那首跟OBC专辑里很不一样的Welcome to the Rock也很好听
汤姨豁的出去，对手演员接得住戏。娓娓道来的谈论性，谈论愉悦，谈论亲子关系，谈论对人生的掌控。中间听着甚至有些共情和泪目。希望我们都有信心可以去做自己想做的事情。
我太喜欢了 我真的好羡慕导演能写出这样的对话内容 可能就是情色和色情的区别 我想到了火口的两人 这没有什么可耻的。最后那一幕很妙 或许只有女主自己才能取悦自己。“我很高兴你来了”
好棒的小品啊，在极其有限的空间里，治愈了两段生活。
把“失足性工作者”想像的太美好了吧？心理治疗加服务？
缘分天注定，有缘才相遇。
1st July 2022。首先要表揚一下只靠幾乎對話表情能撐起整個劇本和故事的兩位角色的演技！其次 作為一個女性觀影 看完之後覺得有點什麼但仔細想要說點什麼 卻啞口無言 想作為自己劇本的主角恍然大悟自己根本沒有劇本好像放在每個人的故事中的npc的一生 遇到這麼一次冒險（有待考究這個冒險的定義）是一次「神秘的禮物」賦予的感動。
比之前听Ost强太多了，很美式正能量，基本把音乐剧的特质展现得淋漓尽致，群像故事表现那么流畅，个体性格又很鲜明，主旋律节拍好好听(但不到洗脑的地步)，一切都注定这是一部成功的作品。有掉眼泪，在机长故事和消防员母亲那里。
让自己愉悦是一件很酷的事情。
此刻需要非常律师禹英禑的同款表情“wow~ ⊙o⊙”哈哈哈哈，各行各业都有专业的敬业的人才啊，年轻的肉体确实很好看，但摆脱body shame才是关键
女人的快乐应该从年轻的时候就开始，避免女主一生的悲剧。但互相治愈的结尾不是我想看的，有点套路了。
作为一个女性，对这部片子的感受绝不是简单几个标签能概括的。艺术性上并不值得五星（有些情节过于强调符号意义了，反而略显刻意），可是社会意义更大。爱玛汤普森绝对我辈楷模。
没想到有一天，我也会对这种配置的影片内心毫无波澜甚至有点乏了。浪漫会在生活中出现吗
多人分饰多角的形式除了经济效率外，在阐释故事的团结和谐主题也有一定的符号化作用。适合放在小屏幕上的百老汇，故事视觉化、篇幅也短。
“应当一无挂虑”，文艺作品就是用来记住人们在困境时可敬的善意和温暖的，当世界被几个头脑发热的好战分子主导时，善良的人应要更有力量。

7/10 演技精湛，简单的小故事和人物背后的故事，处理得张弛有度，有很多十分生活气息的笑点，关于人的身体、感情、道德的讨论也有趣，两代人几十年前后观念的变化和对比也很有趣
