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.
一个人跑到电影院刷了Belfast
儿子的第一部电影，儿童片里算剧情紧凑流畅的。整个故事线设定比电视剧更具情感色彩和说服力，人物对不同事件反应更有血性。
大社会历史背景下的小童家庭生活流。前方的fork不可避免，向左还是右，已经忘了哪个good 哪个bad ，留下的和迁徙的，都有值得纪念的人生。。小男孩演的好！。。BGM用的有点过多，总是把情绪荡上去，没有安静的力量。老电影穿插也不少，可能导演也是迷影怀旧的。局部影像构图挺好，黑白片必须找点优势。。。就，不知为啥大家把这部跟《罗马》对比，难道黑白的形式，历史社会题材就一定要比比？评:3.7星
拼盘式的导演回忆录，几乎没有剧情，片段和片段间也几乎没啥联系，换场比较生硬，完全靠小段子笑料和演员表演推着往前走。不过还好演员选的都很不错，演技也全部在线，作为核心的小男孩也很有灵气。可以冲下男主和女配提名，想要复制jojo rabbit的成功难度不小。
既是导演的童年往事，也是导演的故乡回忆。记忆中的场景每一幕都被精心设计，同时也塞满了真情实感，但片子整体在同类型中还是不算出挑，故事离我们太远，无法共情和信服。好在朱迪丹奇的表演在结尾起了力挽狂澜的作用，让结尾的三句话也格外共情。
"GO!! Take what u need!!" "Washing powder!!!"
开很远的车带小朋友去看的这部电影，一次不一样的观影经历
非常喜欢。以小男孩的视角讲述了那个年代的混乱时局，但妈妈的清醒、果断有魅力加上爸爸努力的寻找出路，还是使人看到希望。妈妈实在是太漂亮了，那种古典的、经典的魅力，爸爸后来也发现很帅啊，有点保罗·纽曼的样子。

假期陪娃看的，基本我全程在玩手机。简陋的画面，没啥教育意义的剧情，不断重复的造型与场景。。。这种动画，好处就是，还有很大的进步空间呀。
几次都看不下去，终于坚持着断断续续看完了。摄制确实很精致，演员阵容也很强大。但导演编剧对整个政治事件采取了一种回避淡化的态度，只把它作为一块画出来的幕布，而非一个真正的时代背景，所以全片弥漫着一种矫情的文艺气质——虽然我不懂但是我也不愿去搞懂我只想发掘和记下每一个特殊年代的温暖时刻。
感觉现在导演也不把小孩当小孩，植入很多新技术，很多新科技到电影里
我居然和孩子一起认认真真的看结束了，尤其阿奇被抓那一段，儿子哭了，以小朋友的视角去看应该还不错
制作精美！Adam Lavine极具辨识度的配乐是惊喜！第一次陪我女儿看 她很满意！我也居然没睡着！这还不给五星嘛！
从彩色自由奔放的繁华的现代切到1969年黑白的贝尔法斯特很妙，喊巴迪回家吃饭瞬间让我穿越到1988（捂脸），虽然战事混乱的年代有生存的烦恼但，爷爷奶奶的人生态度加上音乐的结合还是让人感到轻松愉快些，没有那么沉重，结尾奶奶的怼脸拍摄，很震撼，空镜很美！看的时候总是让我想起乔乔的异想世界
一度让我看出了天堂电影院的影子。小男孩坐在彩色的荧幕前的样子和dodo多像啊。
"GO!! Take what u need!!" "Washing powder!!!"
只有演员是确实不错的。《极速车王》里的“莫莉”凯特瑞娜、多南和小演员都不错。片子就算了吧
离开这里。
很精炼的回忆体；表达的直白并不是缺陷，而是一种成年作者以自己好莱坞的特性对过往的再组与充足，很近一部来说之对于作品自我印记的进一步加深。虽然对于这种风格并不偏好，但那条小小的爱情线仍然充满了令人向往的童真与纯洁
