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.

啊 看完想起来今天是winter的生日（哭）在winwin生日面试一定可以win吧！小猫咪给我力量！biu！
很好的原型 故事却讲得不好 不知道究竟多少是真实事件 姐姐是存在于过去的揭幕和父子和解如果编排得近一点 会对节奏有很大的帮助 还有希望韩国人可以该放弃的时候放弃搞笑情节 太割裂了 不如从头到尾温情纪实 最后的冲击才会大一些 女友的角色安排有点奇怪 漂亮的议员女儿莫名其妙喜欢上男主 梦想还是为了他…
当你继续画画的时候，你就会跟别人产生连结，你就不会孤独。
更会想当在这么一个政治正确的年代，对“扶妹魔”的戏谑
开头那一段两个怪胎竟然相遇了#^真是美好。可惜后来全是悲剧%
韩国真的太会拍这种细腻感情下悲情又温情的故事了
啊…就韩国偶像爱情电影。但允儿的造型太心动了
摄影和音乐非常棒！最后那几个镜头，看着他慢慢走到森林，走到画一样的风景里，就一直静静的流泪。虽然对猫没有特殊的好感，但是真的有被路易和夫人之间的爱感动到！尤其是最后的那段对话，太长情了，看一次哭一次。卷福绝对是今年发现的宝藏啊！从《犬之力》开始就来了电，又看了纠结的梵高，这部更好！你看他走路一颠一颠的样子，把路易那带电的性格一下就演活了。导演原来是之前看的那个英剧里面演Will的日裔，好厉害！
20211129le。本尼迪克特，一个专画猫的画家的一生，很适合给烦躁的一天进行治愈。那温馨浪漫的几分钟，只为衬托余生的痛苦与孤独。有多少艺术家依靠艺术来躲避孤独与痛苦啊。3.5
对比国内一些片子连故事都拍不好，我真的感到可惜。这部片子有亲情有爱情，话说中间他们谈恋爱那一段整得老夫心花路放，无奈的是现实生活中哪有这种呢。求求国产片，故事说不好，画面拍不好就不要拍一些垃圾了。
三星半，虽然比较韩式套路，但是架不住温馨动人，姐姐的反转是好评，只是就戏份和角色深度来说，姐姐才是绝对的女一啊，姐控表示喜欢。
另外赤楚演技真是比町田好太多了
一个实在是让人感动的故事，片尾的《初吻》主题曲，一下子拉回到那个纯真的苏菲玛索时代。
看了一眼导演福田知盛 整个震撼！日本导演拍的电影都这么英国啦？ 仔细一看出生在英国 还好还好
猫和人类一样孤独而勇敢。爱猫人士必看，electrical life所言非虚。前半段比后半段更好，本尼真是表演天才，太动人了。
火车站修好了 也会在村庄停下了
本来想打四星的…允儿实在是太美好了，加一星吧
爸爸和儿子都不要再恨自己了
一段段具象的人生剪影，视点何其散乱，如旅途中路过无数道风景：鲜亮色泽、柔和逆光、卡通式对称构图，以及升格、掉帧、叠化，用尽所有方法消解韦恩一生的错乱与痛苦。而短暂的幸福，用最简单的方法呈现即可：那些与挚爱之人同框的时刻。
