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.
拍摄手法和画面都很青涩，可是人物塑造得挺好的，本来看评分这么低，冲着颜去看的，没想到太多画面跟记忆重合，最后哭得比主角们还惨
下刀子的片段果断划过，年岁渐长只要甜的部分疗愈自己。
「如果你敢不弱懦，憑什麼我們要錯過」雨中籃球場一境封神。其實可以理解長髮會這麼選擇，但還是不能認同，「如果你一定要嫁一個人的話，為什麼不能是我？」我送我最愛的女孩嫁給別人做妻子，實在太感同身受的心痛了。
看得出来导演想拍一些唯美的画面但是功力不深。
導演不太行，演員有潛力，談善言蠻好的。校園時代的戲通篇感覺幼稚。有幾幕過於男性視角讓人感覺不適，水準不高。
怎么会这样啊，Sylvia。女校、华尔兹、绿袖子、三十岁、婚姻、黑白的照片、忽然想带你走的妈妈、林二汶的片尾曲。很难忍住不哭出声。
两个人就算有共同的过去，心里也可能有着不一样的回忆
20211113@Cinema City / 看完一回想确实很老套狗血矫情，但是还是被伤到了，特别是悔过书的部分。中间有蓝宇tribute也是最大的惊喜。女二隐忍的性格很迷人，选择和未必是真爱的男性结婚的理由，或许是自身离婚家庭背景所致，只有变成友情的爱情才能长存。虽然如先前短评所言的剪辑缺陷、糖水片滤镜确实存在，但不至于这么低分。左边座位紧紧攥着女朋友的手来看的女生哭的也很伤心，还分给了我半张纸跟着一起哭。
有些剧情就感觉衔接得怪怪的，虽然但是还是被最后的婚礼整到流眼水。
为什么要特地播放两个新闻，一个说局长为香港祈福，一个说是中国籍男子坠楼，谁会把省份和国籍都单独拎出来说，怕观众不知道你是GD吗，光是这点你一星都不值
她说看完想到我，我说这故事远没有我们的精彩。。。
很难不快进看完，给三星还是在 My Dear, Best Friend 的加成下。
什么鬼。因为喜欢的女生跟别人在一起了，自己喝醉酒随便找个男人在洗衣房啪啪？
女孩子的爱情 细腻 温柔 希望你幸福 两位女主之前有共同出演过叹息桥哎～
全片滤镜故作清新，实则廉价，没啥剧情，一篇流水账。接吻的时候两人僵硬的石化了一样，而且这俩人颜值不达标
符合爱情片的基础设定:酸甜苦辣
我的正前方坐着一对热恋期的女朋友，因为电影前一半时，她们几乎都看着对方而不是荧幕。当我右手边的女生哭的时候，这前方一对都坐僵直了，直到电影快结束，头又凑成一对天鹅状。电影结束，她们讲了很久的悄悄话迟迟不起身，在影院门口因为焦虑而没走的我看到最后出来的是她们，开心地拖着手。
- 演技不能勉強, 只能說加油吧
有点一言难尽……我能理解两个女主高中时期的状态，结局是理解不了。
3星，前半部分拍得挺清新，有种台湾的文娱感觉，很好。后半部分没有什么激情点。亲吻戏感觉不到位，没有投入感情。
