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.
片名撞了许志安的歌“喜欢你是你”，不知道是不是故意的。但电影所呈现的，其实不如安仔这首歌。
换种方式相守，是否真的幸福？
只对女二拿着闹钟“滴答滴答...”那段印象深刻
拍摄是生涩的，情欲戏一看就是外行人拍的，青春戏稍显做作，但是青春的美好和求而不得是真的，彻夜长谈6小时是真的，雨中的吻戏是真的
就感觉结局莫名其妙奇奇怪怪的。两个人的态度也模棱两可，一会儿不勇敢，一会儿很勇敢，一会儿要在一起，一会儿不要在一起，最后呐，是以朋友的名义在一起吗？开始婚礼上带戒指，和“I DO”又很像形婚???
后半段就和导演的运镜和效果一样 迷迷糊糊的
也许不在浴室表白结局会不一样。
是记不清了还是不重要了。
离地三千尺的疼痛青春式对白与独白 / 怼脸大特写 大光圈虚化 高曝光 日式滤镜 大量觉其“用力”但不足以让我感慨“灵”的构图转场 不知是囿于才华还是经验 / 不理解拉拉片里为何会有以女性外貌羞辱为隐形笑点的桥段 毫无必要且并不好笑 / 以我对lgbt片的宽容与热爱 仍多次被尬得脚趾抓地 唯一打动我的竟是配以蓝宇念白的那一段 可见直白真诚才是最大本领 把控不好便会落得悬浮做作 / 论原生家庭（的富裕程度）对ntxl群体最终选择的影响 / 坐在过道 两位女主两次从身边走过 超近距离观察 真是美（流口水
非常尬的一部电影，讲述的故事非常混乱，感觉像在看MV。
不说少数的群体，关于爱这回事，大概所有人的感觉就是崎岖和痛苦吧。人这一辈子，总要经历几段结局失败的恋情。
给4星⭐是因为我们需要更多同样题材的华语片。
你开始、她有意，你开始、她退却，她犯错、你负担，她犯错、因你而失去，她追逐、你摒弃，你……，她成全。爱了一场错误，春帷既揭，你们哒哒地重复错过。
翘脚跳交谊舞的段落，以及阿飞的配乐响起来的时候，笑得打滚
李芯悦撕掉悔过书真的是心碎一地；我觉得其实李芯悦一直深爱着李咏蓝吧，只是如果站在她立场，父亲离世现在是需要她去撑起家庭，她宁愿自己受累也不想去拖累咏蓝，从悔过书那里就可以看出，她想一个人担责
看得出来导演想拍一些唯美的画面但是功力不深。
还有就是nmb为什么片源那么少，听粤语不懂阿咩
有感动到，来自真情实感，正好今晚看了另外一部美国的校园同性爱情片，和香港的这部相比，显然细节上耿能共情。三场戏，可见导演的用心，破处和穿破耳膜-青春的撕裂；对着镜头采访说出导演初衷，戏内戏外的互文；一起走进教堂，情感的升华。同样喜欢叙事节奏的处理，在失去父亲的情绪低位的道别后，留下承诺，为她读电影而后叙事回到开头，让结尾的婚礼充满期待。
我觉得电影的硬伤在结尾，为什么在成人了，有经济能力了，独立的情况下不是重新开始，而是彻底分开呢？很明显她俩还爱着对方，搞不明白编剧是为了什么，也许就是很莫名其妙，所有的爱情都会莫名其妙的分开了。两个女主演的都很好，从高中到成人没有违和感。尤其喜欢在操场激吻那段戏，还有李咏蓝失恋和那个男生发生关系后，洗澡时把耳环硬生生戳过耳垂时，我都能感到心碎后剧痛的感觉。可我不喜欢结尾，我希望深爱的人都能勇敢的在一起，毕竟人生短暂，爱情也短暂 ，相爱就在一起吧。
但是最后结婚那里还是很不争气地看哭了，拍得有氛围，谈善言好灵，开头泳池那里一下就把我美住......
