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.
这就是花钱做counselling吧。女性永远在自我审视。为什么要调查人家的名字？冲突设置稍感不适。
男主真的是服务非常到位了！了解客户需求，有耐心，会聊天。对于大多数女性来说，有情感基础的性爱才是享受啊！（这样的鸭我想每周订一次，但可能订不起…）
不要期待这部电影讨论什么严肃的社会议题，去掉“性喜剧”的噱头它便是一个温情小品：重形式而弱文本，将复杂的生活真实简化成万事总可和解、一切皆有出路。我通常称之为现实主义奇幻片。现实中遇到此般脸帅身材好有文化又温柔还敬业的金鸭，比遇到会飞的独角兽可能性还要低吧。
虽然贴了情色标签，本质上其实是爱在系列那种“话唠片”，很舒服，也很容易共情。任何年纪的人追求愉悦都是无可厚非的事，艾玛婶这把可真是放飞自我了，男主很完美
尼采说的对，那些杀不死你的，终将使你更强大
年度十佳预定
2、每一个人都生而美丽。爱自己，就是爱一切的开始。
评论区挺有意思的，甚至能看出男女来，虽然不能一概而论，但的确很大一部分男性关注的可能是性工作者，欲望本身，于是这部电影的大量对话和女主经常东拉西扯甚至转到现实很不符合预期。女性观众能共情的就多很多，这恰恰很契合这部电影的主题，起码我作为一个女人，个人觉得这部电影的重点不是性工作者的性别优势，不是性欲本身，而是女性的生理心理满足。她絮絮叨叨，在性这件事上唯唯诺诺，战战兢兢。leo通过对话引导和床上运动让一个大半辈子不知性欲为何物的女性得到快乐并渐渐了解自己。南希最后说，她自信了，谢谢leo，这事真的说复杂跟天书一样，说简单就是做踏实了呗，甚至最后她的满足不在于生理运动，只在于看
前半段(抱持与接纳，论工作中的咨询技巧实践)后半段强行转折(白眼)
非常非常棒，细节决定成败。
Equal nudity好评 难以置信这是哪一年还搞那套liberal fem
一边胃疼一边看完了这部期待已久的电影，但是看得入神我都忘记了胃疼，结束之后痛觉仿佛才回到身体里。绝绝绝！果然需要治愈心理疾病才能迎接生命的pleasure。追求什么完美呢，快乐最重要，对吧？
也只有女导演能拍出这样的电影了，探讨了关于性的边界，性的羞耻感，女人对变老不再年轻美丽的难过，困于家庭社会角色出不去的无奈。对小鲜肉的镜头定义了女性凝视，很有趣，希望能有更多类似的作品。Emma Thompson依然魅力十足
非常有趣的选题，像一个都市童话。我们亚洲人日常以为欧美人自由开放，实际上世界女性大同，大家都有自己的年代痕迹和被女性身份束缚的门槛，并不能像男性那样随心所欲。南希那种渴望打破常规又局促不安的心理表现得太好了。里奥很有魅力，令人舒适，但是对比现实生活就显得有点乌托邦。取悦自己、与自己和解是女性毕生的课题。
真的不愧是高端鸭终于理解为什么有人会花钱叫鸭了haha..以及女人高潮时真的会年轻啊真美，所有女生都应该看看这部，已经打算让我妈看看了
故事设定很棒，55岁寡妇点鸭子，四次见面，先谈天说地再上天入地。可是作为一部话痨电影来看，大段大段的台词太不精彩了，让我疑惑到底什么时候才到正题，什么时候才能不要说那么多废话。结局象征意义很大，解放欲望，解放身体，是很多女人的重要命题。
看看人家，再看看咱们这，传出来的都是富婆快乐球，金箍棒，火焰山... ... 素质，素质！
Say hi to the adventure, feel no guilty to the pleasure. 爱听人唠嗑，所以更喜欢前四分之三，Emma Thompson的表演可以用精湛来形容。
缘分天注定，有缘才相遇。
看似简单的对话戏，实则是心理戏，家庭戏，社会戏，呈现的内核很丰富，很大的思考空间能让人完全忽视场景的限制。表演很棒。
