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.
女通讯录电影何时才能站起来！全片矫揉造作，双女主没有cp感，连最容易引起观众共鸣的女校爱情部分都拍的平淡如水。两人的行为没有逻辑，纯粹疯批。如果说操场激吻是一时冲动，但李欣蕊前脚刚说完分手后脚又对女主悔过书生气简直莫名其妙，看完感觉是痴情姬爱上诡计多端的直女的故事。
或者我先係你生命中嘅配角。 p.s.柔光濾鏡加滿並不能提高唯美度。
要是是直人片或者男同片直接一星 这调色 这大柔光 直接把我眼睛看瞎 剧本写得很烂 虽然有两个感人的片段但并不是因为执行功力
*滤镜真的亮到我发慌
剧情真的很老土，不知道导演的预期受众是什么人，但可以肯定的是真女同听到最好的朋友这类说辞都已经生理性反胃了。
演员很想毛舜筠有点出戏。我到后面已经开始觉得，那些甜蜜的时刻只是蓝的幻想了。没有发生过。例如芯的独舞。我长大了，我不怕了。但是还有许许多多人在洪流中被裹挟着走。
凌晨12点微熏熏回家，电影天堂更新前三，最喜欢跳舞翘脚脚的情节了。嗯，看完洗了睡
顺带一提，电影主题曲《my dear， mybest friend》真的超棒！
一地的烂玻璃渣，映射出彩虹，我还要踩在渣上起舞。
如果李咏蓝在李芯悦痛哭的时候只是安静地抱着她
不懂 两个相爱的人明明有机会在一起就是不在一起 希望短发女主能再遇到一个女生好好得相爱
拍出了两位女主的美。剧情有点生硬，节奏平铺直叙，有点像MV叙事
剧情很老套，有些场景超尴尬，但最后哭了，因电影里的感情想到自己。陪sis去看的，如果不是她说要去我自己应该不会去。
鉴于真係太少华语百合片啦，同埋片尾对现实中嘅拉拉采访嗰段都睇到我几感动，所以俾个鼓励分，希望呢类题材可以多啲再多啲，拍得越来越好。
what's wrong with you?
长发女主的侧脸真的好像我高中时暗恋的女孩啊😭
想表达对于女校体制的反抗过于直露，故事戏剧性太强没有处理好。
这个题材难免不落俗，但狠狠共情了一些李咏蓝的情绪，那就多加一星吧。
