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.
剧情简单但看着很流畅不无聊，小狮子和小狼超级可爱
这不点赞那给什么点赞！
“丁萌萌”给我留下相当深的印象。
男一是巴西版张孝全吧？两人在舞池里漫舞拥吻那一段太美了 @2022-01-18
以前看亲情的电影我会哭，变成现在看动物和人之间的感情要哭。
狼与狮子的友情故事～动物最想要的应该还是不被打扰，追求天性和自由吧！
网恋有风险、“直男”终究玩不过gay啊。。谁也别说谁直了！（萨拉脱裙子那里太美了！！
“捍卫动物的自由”，说得容易，做到真难。很多地区，连人类自由都还没有呢。
沒有刻意逢迎的好心分手結局；暫借過體溫，繼續上路
萨拉太美了！两个人太会亲了，直男是掰不弯的，尤其还是偏执狂武力值max的警察，电影前一个小时是警察的视角，两个人酒吧见面之后转为萨拉视角，喜欢女装的同性恋，刚柔转变，电影里面光影运用的特别棒，每个人的私人荒漠里都有着不可说的秘密
片尾曲听着听着就要哭了，在众多同影中真的属于独树一帜了🤧 低于预期而又高于预期。
在彼此的私人荒漠中游荡。/开场的配乐让我想到古斯塔夫的吉他。
三星半。前半段厚重感足，发现男二性别后，人物twist太生硬，自我觉醒的戏太干，男主整个角色垮台。总结：起似大师，落于俗套。
在长达半小时的家庭伦理大战之后，终于抛弃了琐碎，丢下了生活终于寻找了自我。爱不分性别，人亦是。没有隔阂的灵魂之州，照片追寻你的足迹，夜路路灯下的宿醉，缠绵悱恻的吻，终究是爱意打败了抗拒。结尾的处理好棒，终要跟爱情告别，与生活上路，车开，字幕起，音乐响起，私人的渴望早就成了两个不分彼此的爱。 @2022-01-19 00:36:47
莎拉惧怕丹尼尔的暴力，丹尼尔错愕莎拉的真我，屏幕分隔了两人截然不同的私人荒漠，又勾勒出他们美好爱情的海峡。
镜头大体不错，但切换生硬。
这片确实有王朔的东西，比如男主迥异常人的视觉速度的概念，对死亡的焦虑、那些混不吝的台词，以及大飒蜜的女性人设。有些讨论也很动人。但剧本就像一块压缩饼干，它自诩有所谓个人史诗的厚重感，就逼迫着观众吞咽。后半程越发离奇，已经到了荒诞不经的程度了。
电影的前30分钟都在讲如何照顾父亲、因何停职等，表现出的情节过于平淡乏味，第一次电影过半都还不知道在讲啥，一度怀疑自己是看了一个啥电影，电影的高潮在最后汽车站的公厕内，然后就没有了……
他们把最温柔和最真实的自己给了彼此。看起来暴力勇武的那个却泣不成声，纤细瘦弱的那个反而勇敢到令人心疼。爱是从你身上我找回了自己，是可以在紧紧相拥后笑着说分离。
