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.
挺不错的，建议40以上的女生都看看，20岁就不要看了
跟在《超脱》之后看这片儿的感受更加奇妙，相似的议题元素，相反的观点态度，活一世究竟是灵魂和肉体的相互“抽离”还是彼此“接纳”…最后这个女人美到发光…高潮是自己给自己的，堪称最妙…
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
太PC了，這種電影現在才被拍出來引起熱議，其實也蠻懊惱的。
我们都值得在赤裸面对真实自己时更加自信与强大。
20年后的今日，当别有用心之人还在将彼时的悲剧用作思想灌输的素材和立场观点的划分时，Broadway的一场演出将"We're all islanders"歌颂。
太棒了！演技全程在线，当对情感状态和人物心理不甚理解时，剧情表现会一次次让你感到意外和牛逼，多理想主义的关系，多感人的交流，我们都需要对自己进行回顾和突破，最好的自己可能是自己想象不到的模样
good luck to me，and all of us
四次见面，对性不同形式的尝试且得到的正常反馈，随之内心不断改变对性想法，又能让身体更寻常地将性作为一件愉悦事，它是一个渐变的过程。去交流快乐的地方，不舒服的地方，以及渴望的时刻等，做爱应该是是生活中不需要去掩饰和假装的真实时刻，热烈的温度，交织的汗水，在欲望的海洋里畅游，哪怕你其实不会游泳/不过男主过于完美的设置，以及结尾女主跟当年的学生承认，都其实有点理想化。
有点像舞台剧的话痨电影。简单的场景，对话烘托出魅力。可惜大概率情况下是订不到里奥格兰德的，所以接收/面对/和解都只能自己来了哦。7.5
很感动！开始感觉可能有点闹腾，而且因为每个演员都担任了好几个角色，会有点错位的诧异感。不过最后那种厚重感和爱的传递的正能量还是传达到了，尤其是从那些人起飞离开后开始，那种怅然若失，挺戳人的。
是一个自身无比放松柔软的高维度的存在（Leo Grande）普渡众生的故事？肉眼可见Nancy从一块紧绷的铁板慢慢松弛下来的完整过程。我们喜欢喝酒抽烟having sex，因为，all we need is 松弛。
不是说性工作者不好的意思，但这部片子的确将性工作者美化了，这种有外形、有内涵还器大活儿好的极品男主只应天上有，再来点童年阴影和家庭创伤那简直更加完美。相反，女主角前期的形象十分真实却不够讨喜，看前面的时候我害以为艾玛女神的尺度也就这样了，因为不能脱所以一只聊，没想到最后一次见面直接坐上火箭，看得我一愣一愣的，以她在影坛的地位接下这部影片真是需要巨大的勇气了。为表演艺术家艾玛汤普森点赞！
五星怒赞！一剂极度舒适的精神春药。内核还是与自己和解！话痨片真的可以拍得很好看！请洪常秀、伍迪艾伦学着点吧。
蛮好的 挺有意思的
“我觉得，这整个理念的意义要比这个大得多，试想一下，如果它对所有人都适用，没有任何羞耻感，没有任何评判，那将是多么文明的事情。”
感觉Emma Thompson提名个奥斯卡没问题！非常细腻有层次的表演。就是主题上想表达的内容有点多却又没有非常深入的探讨，结尾突兀的冲突与和解也是把前期的平顺柔和给冲突掉了。以及突如其来的sex scene，这情感有这么迸发嘛？！至少男主视角的话我是不能理解的！
简直太棒了！！每首歌响起的时候都想哭！啊有官摄简直太幸福啦！好清晰好近的镜头！！请把那些经典都拍一遍好吗！！把这些可爱演员的最佳状态留下来呀！呜呜不知道还能不能看到现场啊！
“总有值得你幻想的事。”
