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.
倘若去了80年代的法国，怎么会不爱这样的巴黎；怎么不会不爱那些具体的人；怎么会不爱这柔软的声音。
悬疑和喜剧不易混搭，目前国内也仅唐探系列在此领域颇有所成，没想到刘循子墨处女作便交出不错的答卷。前面喜剧后面悬疑融合得不错，迷影元素不少，反嘲娱乐圈社交、影视圈创作，以及吐槽审查和署名，虽是创作者夹带私货，但并不枯燥。剧本杀风格迎合年轻人，然不失为行之有效的观影驱动力。选角和表演方式也指向更下沉的受众群体，营销跟上来就会小爆。
不太一样的巴黎 错过了鸟人却去看了圆月映花都 生活困顿却可以抱着跳支舞 not bad
与去年的《杨之后》一样有着极为复古的风格，前者具有实验性，此部剧情更为平实。夜行孤影，聚散有时。
其实温柔也是一种力量，上善若水，真诚的面对生活，勇敢的热爱它！
说实话，这故事远没有达到剧本杀的中游水准……
这片子里的尹正跟第十一回的大鹏一样，占着重要角色，演出净是油腻猥琐自大，从头至尾众人皆醉，选角令人不适
Il y aura ce que nous avons été pour les autres, des bribes, des fragments de nous que parfois ils crurent entrevoir. Il y aura ces rêves de nous qu'ils nourrirent, et ils ne nous étions jamais les mêmes, nous étions chaque fois ces inconnus magifiques
1980s 法式的浪漫松弛，复古而梦幻，关于破碎与衰老，夹杂着一些私人情绪。夏洛特甘斯布越发优雅，面对生活的困境如此坦然，爱意与温暖四处流动着。八十年代的巴黎，蒙着一层复古泛黄的滤镜，美得精致而充实，让人深深着迷……
中年女性成长史 很平静的讲述 坠入情绪里感到舒适
这不是电影吧… 不太喜欢这种话剧感太强的电影，从镜头语言到表演节奏，还有转场，制式化的感觉太强了，服化道也是全面垮塌。这次的高分评价是不太懂了。
我想看阴谋、勾心斗角、黑暗、阴谋、腐败……结果凶手居然只是为了爱情？？？
对微情绪有点过于细致的装帧。Hers还是需要一些蠢故事的
温柔细腻，摇曳的1980和塞纳河，看完会嘴角一扬也会怅然若失。
以平缓的坚强迎接生活的打击，弟弟带着遗憾勇敢，妈妈敞开心扉拥抱。没有抱怨，都是旅人
观众到底需要娱乐还是真相？讽刺性极强的片，能公映就很强了，关键还有点搞笑。电影人看了落泪，影迷看了高潮。用旧上海背景讲一个现代故事，电影这个行业算是给你们玩明白了，牛！
非常非常喜欢 太温柔了 / 让人觉得 一生至少要去一次xxx吧 这样的句式是合理的 只要是巴黎
不太一样的巴黎 错过了鸟人却去看了圆月映花都 生活困顿却可以抱着跳支舞 not bad
在寒冷的冬日夜晚呼出一口哈气时被人紧紧握住双手。也想在美丽清冷的城市里体验人生的碎片。
情感真挚，叙事平缓，中间插了一些档案化的胶卷镜头很是好评。在静静流淌的塞纳河畔，希望我们都能找到心灵的皈依。
