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.
没有想到Leo唱Careless Whisper这么好听【电影其实像男主一样一直原地踏步 没有解释他的精神问题 结尾也没有任何解决 就像个半成品令人致郁 但又讽刺的贴近生活
——我想吻你。——吻吧。
好混乱的故事，看的挺难受的，主角的心里疾病真的很严重...
（但不得不说 帅哥好多
儿子的各种台词：“爸爸，太黑了，我什么都看不见”“怎么会没事，我的心脏像燃烧一样痛”
我觉得还不错呢 轻松的剧就要轻松地看 柳叔意外的和年轻的学生看起来挺有cp🥹我竟然有些动容了这对同性组合
和自己和解，和生活和解。男神 Leonardo Sbaraglia依舊非常迷人。
——这无聊的人生啊，只有切断的手指带来一点点短暂的刺激
感情生活一团糟的基佬，情感及精神的依托上甚至没有他女儿独立。
男同性恋的生活真混乱呀。欲望可以满足、情感很难满足的主题其实也挺腻的了，拍得太跳跃了，剧本比较套路，表演尚可。
【6.1】
迎接新生活的毕业生（们？）虽然精力旺盛，也没有比社畜有意思，那些空想没意思，那些聚会没意思，那些欲望也没啥意思，总之白天，黑夜，黎明，出轨，奔跑，朋友都让人乏味，或许这是导演想表达的？
同志老爹跟女儿跳雨伞舞。
即使掺杂了其他颜色，原本的色彩并不会消失，只是看起来像其他不同颜色，但其中有我们所知道的原来的色彩
这海报看不出来是哭或笑，但都是一种几近癫狂的状态。男主不单单是中年危机，还有更多的疑似PTSD症状，每当分离的时候，都有一种抓狂的状态呈现，甚至他女儿也受此影响很深。这来自早期的分离创伤没有疗愈，自然很要命。结尾女儿离开时痛苦再度出现，往常不是逃避就是放纵，但都不能从根本上解决问题。
爱与被爱都是难事 胡说八道
我真的长大了，现在看这种电影已经没有浪漫的想法了。为数不多的感受就是职场上能遇到这种好朋友真难得，怎么能在不喜欢的岗位上坚持那么多年真厉害云云。我觉得男主就是个很多人在生活中都能遇到，不起眼的小角色。但我觉得他好厉害
3.5.与其说是躁郁症，不如说是中年危机混合分离焦虑吧.可惜情绪流实在太混乱了，Léo的演技也挽回不了多少.Btw 为什么会有Léo从青年到中年都这么可口的男子.Damn good!👍
剧情从中间就开始扯了 但是还是很喜欢拍出的这种若者（弱者）感
电影就像是个超长的小品，有几个地方还挺好笑，只是剧本故事平铺直叙，不过起码不让人尴尬，这点就很好了，半夜看那些烤串，我好饿
