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.
走失的孩子终会与母亲相聚，血缘终究会召唤血缘，红色终会与红色相融，导演也终会涉足历史直面政治，阿莫多瓦终于涉及到了历史与政治，西班牙内战的伤痕从未在他心里消失过
强行一个狗血的故事，硬要配上“发掘真相，发现历史”的大背景，实在不必要。以及情感线里女主这个人设蛮讨厌的，想起一些不太好的回忆。
虽然包含了一些细腻温柔的细节，但整体还是略平庸了
"未来即是现在。"
用这样的卡司弄出这么一锅泔水，不愧是网飞。哦对了，美国甜心干掉了美国屁股，这可能是最有趣的部分。
说了这么多两个母亲，结尾却是历史挖掘现场，女主是完全可以隐瞒真相的，但她还是说出来了，历史总有痕迹，诚实的看待过去，才能更好的抓住现在。
佩内洛普是不是有点罗圈腿？西方人好容易吐哦 很多电影剧都有人物受到惊吓刺激就跑去吐的场景。两位女主的感情变化好生硬 像多个片段拼在一起的成品。不了解西班牙这段历史 所以不太懂。最后5分钟挖掘这段历史，那女主和女二的滚床单是体现？女主和考古家滚床单是体现？两个报错的孩子是寓意？虽然这段历史不能被忘记 但这个故事和这段历史的联系着实牵强了吧。看完影评 还是get不到。
夭折的正确，更正的错误，和解的新生；莫说故事狗血，真实的历史更狗血。
8，旧母题新思路，也是第一次在阿莫多瓦电影看到如此直白的政治表达，两位母亲的观点应该分别代表两派对于历史的态度吧，历史和真相不容篡改，即使疼痛也要勇敢面对。
Pe不老 获奖密码是LGBT+致敬历史 这部新作没有惊艳到
历史战争的伤痛为核心，不屈于掩盖事实，与两位平行母亲寻求根源相互对应。但姬情就很莫名其妙…
在头尾的历史伤痕间夹着一个奇情故事，就让人不得不不只是把中段的情节剧当情节剧看了，导演已经主动将其政治化与历史化，因此，最后克鲁兹的角色成了为西班牙母亲，成为历史的见证者与载体。
与之前作品相比多一份厚重
阿莫多瓦的导演技术当然可以，但佩妮洛普发现孩子搞错后，不找医院解决不好理解，查出同产期婴儿做下生物鉴定很难吗？对孩子有了感情可以理解，可自己亲生的在外，好吗？
有点失望。抱错娃的两个女人
抱错婴儿-莫名百合-历史创伤，你到底想说什么？还是不要拿“平行”“母亲”来深化内涵吧。总之，不甚理想。
Madres.Paralelas.2021.1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H.264-gattopollo
佩内洛普的表演比以往更加沉稳克制，各种情绪的转换流畅自然，比《回归》更甚。请再拿下一座小金人
克鲁兹女神真的诠释什么是风韵，每道皱纹都是那么迷人🥺 最重要的是演技太强大了。刚看时还以为阿莫多瓦怎么也拍起了国产剧的惯用情节？结果接下来的情节真的还是不走寻常路。PS.爱死这部电影的初版海报，打算贴家里。
然而最后还是要男性来帮扶和补足，甚至“再生一个”来平复。
