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.
3.5，女主这是社交牛逼症吧，并不讨喜甚至有点儿招人烦，但当电影变成一部拉拉片以后，那当然还是选择原谅她啦，结尾真的fucking romantic，just so France
旺盛的生命力，无时无刻不在奔跑盛放，年轻的女孩子无惧无畏，横冲直撞，没有目标没有方向又如何！
很喜欢那种自由并且独立的状态，最棒了就是“法国女孩”他们丰富而大量的对话中间不会缺乏文艺，或者说知识性的一面，这可能跟他们喜欢读书有关系，但是确实比起普通的闲聊会有深度很多。最后真的很温暖，那种灵魂上的鼓励和支持。
出乎意料的好看。太喜欢最后安娜伊斯说“我不同意”了。还有艾米丽说“我就在这儿，如果你想要我的话，我就在这儿。”
3.5 the last 10 minutes was gonna save the whole movie, but the last 2 minutes of the last 10 minutes ruined it again… an irresponsible asshole getting away with everything cuz she’s pretty. And when she’s finally getting poetic justice, she got her way again… some bullshit
前段喜剧风包袱密节奏快信息足，最后却突然抒情拔高博同感，导演把控着实一般
《首演之夜》
穿着不能再短的裙子在大街在沙滩奔跑，肆无忌惮想做什么就去做，想要什么就用自己的方式索取，无所畏惧又无牵挂，年轻真好！
我的妈艾米丽好知性温柔优雅啊，她一笑我要陷进去了；找打印纸那一段很妙，是阿娜伊斯把艾米丽拉到一个幽暗的小空间看照片，明明自己连封闭的电梯都不敢进去；最后一段好浪漫好勇敢啊，阿娜伊斯像小白兔委屈的哭红了眼去亲吻艾米丽的手腕说我不同意，最后画面拥吻在电梯里，好真挚给我看流眼泪了💧
月光才是真正情人
还有角色塑造很重要
好喜欢。自由、热烈、勇敢、奔跑，是神奇令人惊叹的存在。以及这部电影的红蓝绿撞色太会用了！红色热烈莽撞，蓝色温柔沉静。美好。
轻松、享乐主义的女性肖像，不上价值、不故作姿态，也不强求提取共性，比《世界上最糟糕的人》好不少。看《世界上最糟糕的人》时我就一直觉得主角长相和气质都很像德穆斯捷，没想到这次她还真演了个几乎完全一样的角色……

开头很美，结局很“理想”，其实都是过客和当下罢了。
开篇第一个镜头女主从花店风风火火出来 穿着明艳的红色一路奔跑 就不禁感叹这可太法国电影了 话说 女作家找瓦莱丽亚演一点不意外 阿姨这几年狂接这种 还是可以花两个小时感受一下法式浪漫
尽管阿娜伊斯总是风风火火想一出是一出，甚至把自己的生活搞得一团糟，然而就像艾米丽说的，我也好羡慕她可以那么自然地去索求一切，从不过多考虑对或不对。对于我这种和艾米丽一样思虑过多、时常克制自己的人，怎么会不被这种生机勃勃的人吸引啊
果然还是女性导演才更懂女性角色，太喜欢这里面这两个女性角色了。自己也曾像anaǐs一样，撒谎辗转于不同男性，只是因为“这不重要”；不停奔跑，却不知去向何处。但anaǐs遇到Emilie，我没有，而是成了Emilie，一个选择让创作而不是爱占据自己生活重心的人，去感受爱但最终是为创作注入活力的人。但Emilie最后遇到anaǐs了啊！羡慕anaǐs，她才是最能感受自己欲望的人物。这电影许多段落看得想流泪，但心情也好复杂…(in a good way)
作家是同性电影里第一职业选择了 阿姨真会聊啊 分手理由太有说服力了 结局很好啊
法国人太会拍爱情了!看得我心旌摇曳，一颗心荡来荡去
