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.
艾玛阿姨的表演大师班，小牛郎也配合默契，真希望那场角色扮演的戏能出个番外，抛开衰老欲望这些话题，安心谈性。
3.5 全程都在脑补性转版Leo，Emma Thompson的表演当然是五星，但对女性最终依然需要靠男性引导才能取悦自己多少有点不适，另外亲子话题也稍微太多了。（Irish accent啊真是毫无抵抗力）
可惜了好题材，个人感觉应该对标《年轻气盛》啊，结果立意和故事层次比那部差太远了，本质上还是流水线工业化片子吧，落入了爱与拯救的俗套结尾。感觉生活中不可能有男主这个类型的男性，全程一到关键时刻就直接跳过，本来以为是阉割过了，结果到最后突然来了几分钟大尺度，女主正面全裸的勇气值得赞赏！为表鼓励加一星。好好锻炼，争取60岁还能拥有不用花钱的满意sex！
They didn't do 69.
话剧式的大段台词让我总觉得在看nt live ，那些情欲，那些冲突，那些唠叨，那些漫不经心，一切都让人微醺，最后彻底断片，午夜梦回时，你又会想起，然后仿佛昨日重现，终究在早上九点的人海里消失不见。
You do like some kind of sex saint, and being a teacher suddenly pays her back, enables her to explain the accident so reasonably and convincingly 和学生的对话可以看出冷漠老师不是个会察言观色、考虑他人感受的高情商的人，虽然循规蹈矩却不是真的在乎，直到她感受到人和人之间的温度 thx to the SEX SAINT! Oh, when he felt wrongly treated by his mother老娘母性关怀雌性荷尔蒙爆棚！这是对俄狄浦斯情结最当代的展示了吧！！concupiscence
就像《震惊！六旬老太竟做了这件事》打开一看结果是她退休不忘发挥余热拯救失学少年…这说教姿势也太标准了
如果我也能点leo，才不会去关心他真名是什么 real life过得怎么样，只会一门心思赚钱确保自己能经常点他
老阿姨想法哈多，沙大啊
我也跟南希一样从来没有喜欢过自己的身体，总是知道它哪里有问题，粗壮的大腿，肥胖的肚子，总是难以相信自己是性感的或者值得被爱的。哦，我看确实应该吧利欧这样的年轻男人当做政府福利发放给每一个自卑而缺爱的女人。这男演员太帅了连他的口音都那么性感。
今年目前看过最有趣最治愈的故事了。和想象的差不多，最后几分钟又超乎想象。艾玛姨演的真好啊！以及，真的有如此敬业的x工作者吗
如果没看过，绝对无法想象一个63岁的女人还能流露出犹如少女般的像受惊的小鹿一样紧张的可爱表情。囿于亲密关系的人们都应该看看这部，同自己的情欲和被裹挟多年的“道德边界”和解是漫长又有趣的过程。最后的最后，站在镜子前与自己已经发福和下垂的酮体和解，也是可爱的呀
知识女性到老都充满魅力！剧本不深，但演员上台面啊，可以可以。
简单精悍，一个电影就一个场景，俩人（后面增加了一个场景和另外一个角色感觉略显鸡肋）力求只把一个事讲清楚，是我喜欢的
对话电影形式，我是比较喜欢的，当然我指的是这种高质量高逼格的对话。
后半段不太行，当然一个这么小切口的片子在故事落点上要寻求一点普世价值讨论也不是不能理解。艾玛汤普森棒。
Wow，多么大胆、真诚而又温暖的电影！
线条好极了
温柔静谧的对话空气像音乐盒的flow。最后一个镜头女主看镜中自己好美丽。想流泪。
