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.
应该说是含朔量相当低的一部电影，但是还是能看到他的影子。片子节奏相当快，如果没有上一辈的故事加持，可能没有那么吸引人。可是这个上一辈的故事讲的实在潦草，总觉得背后有什么隐情。片子感觉勘破了爱情与人生，直击生死谜题。可是却也没说出什么，但是故事的流畅性是很好的，即使没讲出什么，你也愿意看完他。王珞丹可算是遇到了一个比较适合自己的角色，细听台词功力很可以的。王传君相比起来，吐字模糊，总体来说，片中女性角色更亮眼一点，不论是丁萌萌还是苏，不知道这是不是王朔创作多年以来的感受。
1668。作为一个警察分辨不出来男扮女装，我个人是不太相信的。但整个故事还是真挚感人。
故事胡扯 小狼和小狮子毛茸茸滴好想rua一把
前面一直都很好，结尾真不行，生活本就不完美，刻意扭转就大可不必了，停留在伤感的情绪中岂不是更好
第一人称叙事，在那些诗一般淡淡的自语里，尽是感动。长镜运镜蒙太奇，结尾的时光回溯，我们哭着到来，哭着送别。
郭小鲁真™懦夫自私啊
女装大佬pua网恋男金叉，连拉美基片也开始偶像剧化了。一股子湾湾味

电影给到了两位主角个人的状态 如同电影的名字使得电影更加属于主角各自最为私人的部分 只是这样做便显得起承转合都太突然了…
惊喜之作！完成度极高，在发廊的戏竟然让我竟然有了一种王家卫的即视感。整个剧本戏剧冲突足够，张力极大。人物性格转变也非常合理，非常推荐去看
救赎不等于幸福，认同不等于相爱。嗯，网恋有风险
童话系电影，剧情没多少，就当动物世界看还是挺有意思的，人的剧情可有可无
男主一开始真的很挫，救啊结果越看越性感辣得我头晕目眩，这片给我整体感觉是一种衣衫单薄的闷骚，其实风格没有很像王家卫，我想导演领略到了内核。水坝和湖好美好美
Sara is beautiful！！！这部电影拍的不错
不知道是对这种叙事感到疲劳了，还是心态太暴躁，能理解想传达的那种挣扎和转变，但还是说本片除了美其他一点没打动我。
底层中年危机直男和墨西哥保守小镇跨女网聊奔现的故事，前段写实的风格还以为是啥社会反思片，中段尬得我抠出十套海景房，后段莫名奇妙的he让人摸不着头脑……
男主一开始看着很矬，后来越看越man越顺眼了是怎么回事？其实一开始妹妹透露要开始同另一个人同居的时候就已经隐喻了他的家族有同性恋的因子或者是导演故意设定这个试探？男主演的很棒，情感上的转变也是丝丝入扣让人不得不感动。
谢谢 让我在两个半小时内明白了什么叫如芒刺背如坐针毡如鲠在喉 天上一天电影院一年
在处理变装题材上做到了去奇观化，也在导演镜头下看到了一个不一样的巴西。
很梦幻的一次经历像是 和自己的经历总觉得很相似 以至于看这部电影的时候 有很深的代入感 那些过往的画面也像电影一样 在脑海闪过 只觉得像是一场梦一样
