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.
怎么才能遇到这种痴情男人，千里迢迢去找真爱发现是男的，但是后面也想通了，接受了他。片尾曲好凄凉的感觉
ps：公路➕拉丁美男＝我的菜！被深深吸引住了！开头和结尾部分更是喜爱。
小狼崽和小狮子小时候都很可爱很适合小朋友看

看似时髦实则土味，把当代人的故事包装成电影节流水线产品给老头们看的，拿奖密码max。（但好像也没拿啥奖…）另外男主这形象我老觉得是个演动作片而不是搞网恋的，不知道选角的时候出于什么个考虑
太可惜了，这故事明明只剩半个小时来讲，电影的形和意却都一定程度地散掉了。以至于有点浪费男主特别真诚投入的表演——出乎我意料地把一个深柜双性恋的形象塑造得如此准确、细腻。结尾部分过于在乎某种立意与不合时宜的取舍，反过来又削弱了之前角色所传达的动人的真实感。（此时我忽然明显地感受到拍一部各方面都称得上优秀的好电影真的好难呀）
细腻，深刻，融入很多身份思考和对社会现状的反映

？？？？？？？
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
她好漂亮，真的。另外，导演真的好会调色，两人在夜晚的相遇和发廊归还裙子，场景如梦似幻。
Self identity. Second half seems rushed but all beautiful
气氛营造的挺好，但感情铺垫的不太够。话说男二女装也太自然了吧…我愣是没看出来是男生演的
我从没在任何同性片看见两个人亲热的时候笑得那么开心，南美的电影真的是画面明亮，色彩饱和度高，I had a wonderful night
如果把见面前的多拍一些，这样后边的剧情我们就能带入情绪了，现在就是莫名其妙。
烂！Mozart Dreamer 和风景各得一星
🌟总体评价：
就这么说吧编剧你把娄烨的电影看了几遍？开头一句如果我走了，我以为下句要接你会不会像马达那样找我？80年代大学校园，放着同样的我的青春小鸟一去不回来和7little girls setting in the backseat ，你再掰扯下到底是借鉴还是复刻哒？中间干细胞你没那科研造诣就真的别写，又去戈壁滩干什么？？合着男主角当了一辈子处男还有闺女了？高粱怡给你们下重金了？？？
一场追寻内心真我之旅 一切都留在了那个荒漠 分别后余下的仍是美好 全片人物的情感是细腻动人的 尤其两次响起心之全蚀的bgm的时候氛围感直接拉满 但是关于自我认同的过程一个一开始就很坚定另一个转变得有些突然 如果能多花些笔墨就会更完美不然显得lgbtq日常戏好多的样子
很棒的国产片，全组没有一个演员的表演有大毛病，李婷婷突破表演，只是有一个地方动作不太正常，很好看
