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.
我愿称之为魁北克旅游宣传片，好想有机会去看看加拿大的秋天啊......看到里面的宗教情节每每感慨，不要爱抽象的人（or组织、概念、社群），要爱具体的人😢女主神似莱农...以及女本子的黑人好友是什么固定搭配吗😅（面子和触不可及里面都有
女主被拿捏死了，为了约会还要去bible study，心疼了。我还是很爱这样的片子，没有明确的be我就当可以he了，我真的很需要快乐的女同电影，很需要。
没有教练没有课室也没有父母的支持，一放学就迅速打包一个饭团就去讨论，不敢吃辣的怕喉咙发炎说不了话，午休偷偷躲在楼道讨论被团委老师发现了，被罚写检讨…
很想说女同性恋能不能不要再这么矜持了 还是忍不住在手指试探着靠近的瞬间屏住呼吸
好涩....感觉女主亲了八百遍🥵初吻那里真的太会了...好禁忌 不过结尾烂烂的...😓
三星半，双女主在开始的隐忍克制与爱，有点像特定的情景式爱情，该上头的时候确实上头。但是，剧情确实俗套，看开头就知道结局必BE，咱女铜电影能整点he嘛？
可恶/勇于做自己吧/很美 演员 画面 暧昧都是/厕所那段 果然女铜才是最怂的
这部剧让我总是浮现高中时组建一支辩论队去征战全省最强辩论队的春天。
可是我们依旧还是很普通，都这么努力了，一分也没捞着，最后也只是做一场梦，扑一场空。
圣经上偷偷触摸的指尖、厕所里让人心动的背后抱、浴缸中为爱接受的洗礼，终究敌不过现实，宗教对人性的压抑堪比封建礼教。
当她父亲在教堂大谈特谈爱是忍耐和包容时，宣布了女儿订婚的“喜讯”，宗教下的多盲目和“虔诚”，只不过是为了自己的目的而美其名曰。两个女孩子的交往和大多数人的经历都差不多，初见的惊鸿，相处的融洽，爱恋从懵懂到每天想你无数遍，悸动的青春，拍的很好啊，只是在宗教背景下，那定是没啥好果子吃，you can live forever，在心底吧。
老宗教问题了但拍得很细腻、两位也很有火花❤️压抑自己强迫他人的宗教也挺好笑…两位接吻我比她们还紧张被看见🤡（女主有点像许玮甯hh
teenager love我可以给四星，但是后面尤其结尾好拉胯。仿佛一下给我拉回百吐之前女友当初抛弃我结婚生子以后找到我说还爱我，要不要和好？真的是，在评论人人劝快逃的路子好吗。如果有人为这个情节感动，我拜托以后百吐出现类似投稿都别再劝分了，您可不就爱看这一套吗hhh
家人们，我们内鱼青春题材没有什么早恋和下三流梗就已经赢了一半了！
对比日版缺了点喜感，喜剧部分节奏都不太对，但青春感还是出来了，五个少年各自形象也比较鲜明，而不是像原版只看到妻夫木聪。视觉上赏心悦目，算翻拍得比较有完成度了，就是最后“女生要柔美男生要阳刚”那儿还是有点囧。
指尖的触碰和流连，来自背后的拥抱，落在颈间的吻……小细节总是很打动人。宗教笼罩之下的爱向来很难有好的结局，有时候真是痛恨这些人类自己制造出来的枷锁，但我还是愿意相信最后是he，她们会一起离开那里，去看意大利小镇的钟楼上长出的橡树。
2.5 实在给不出3星因为我真的很讨厌宗教…… 前半部分女孩暧昧时候的拉扯还不错，影院洗手间和家里浴缸的两场戏很细腻很有感觉我很喜欢。我能感受到女主的演技，女二就一般了。女主的脸really my天菜（有点像小k），真的想和女主谈恋爱🥺
绝了，年度最佳。无字幕看了一遍，英字看了一遍，中字又看了两遍。
拥抱是命运
yclf已成为本人年度最佳姬片...两位眼神一碰感觉可以起火，打五星纯属是翻来覆去看了好几遍看出感情了
