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.
D- / 好久没看到过这么无趣的公路片了，摸不透素材选取的思路，采用线性叙事又放弃叙事逻辑而改用场景拼贴，剪辑叙事和摄像各行其道，而影像又空洞而缺乏表现力，因此填充的配乐甚是露怯，和马力克比也差太远。
整个故事讲得很节制，镜头表达和主角主观的距离感刚刚好，认识这种真实事件对个人生活也有警醒作用
Simply brilliant. Breathtaking.
3.5，没有诀别的路，失去的人都在远方，但凡我还有书写一字的权力，你也将与我的遗憾一并不朽，明天，明天，还有明天，可以去见无数美丽的风景，可以去听无数美妙的歌，用一生试图弥补已经挖空的过去，可那过去的，终将过去，熄灭吧，熄灭吧，短促的烛火。
达登内遇见了马力克，可惜两者不要的赵婷照单全收。女主的表演是所有人中最不自然的(从Fargo后就一直是这个样，倒真不如最早的血迷宫)，配乐水准和片尾字幕更是堪比汽车广告水准
三星半，不知道怎么上9分之前，能说房车一族题材是不错，看封面以为是丧片，其实还是人性小清新，不过拍得是支离破碎余味不足啊。。。
每一种生活方式
See you down the road
骨子里向往自由的人，并经历了所谓“稳定”的幻灭，彻底而决绝地再次投身自由。孤独只是个必要的装饰品，所有的感情也都自然无法长久，只有“在路上”是永恒的。所以，“路上见”。
吟游诗人。see you down the road.
不得不上路的原因是，无法停止思念。——女之耽兮,不可脱也。
夕阳与清晨中广阔无垠的平原风景，山脉、森林与荒原，在摄影上与带着悲伤基调的配乐将人物内心表现得淋漓尽致。
私认为配乐有些过满，冲淡了荒凉感，稀释了演员原本极好的情绪。
慢慢的成纪录片式的展开美国中西部的普通人故事。我也是从一个矿业小镇出来的，如今很久没有回去了。
一个孤独女人的史诗，导演拍摄的风平浪静，科恩嫂却演绎出了情绪下的暗潮涌动。电影克制的恰到好处，是一部相当成熟的作品。
观感上比《骑士》好很多，更多的是对情绪和状态的表达。
观影过程中几度产生一种莫名的熟悉感，直到配乐第一次奏起才恍然大悟，这种孤寂与平静的诗意与Ludovico的作曲如出一辙。从有些本末倒置的角度来说，Nomadland是对鲁叔作曲的一次满分影像化表达。
看了无依之地和骑士很能理解为什么漫威会看上赵婷，她的节奏很快逻辑又清楚，剧本充满感情但又克制，是那种市场会喜欢的文艺片导演。不过这片的范式很让我联想起拆弹部队，都是用刻板印象引入人物，经历一段洗礼和过去对视，让观众对人物改观，最后找回自己
是很有魅力的片子，影像上充满了漂流和不稳定，在时常出现的宽幅和远景中被放大，又显得孤独渺小。很独特的视角，大家来来走走，生活兜兜转转又回到原点。但我觉得配乐的存在感过强，想要扬起情绪的意图很明显，时而的戛然而止又把被撩拨起来的情绪硬压了回去。并且大家都失去了生活中重要的人这一点在我看来有点刻意了。但总而言之还是一部不错的电影。
配乐毁了Frances McDormand的表演，空镜很像国家地理，这部片子真的走入那些游牧者的心了吗？
