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.
在其他战争电影还在比拼场景制作特效的时候，这部《云霄之上》已经开启了在艺术上的追求，另辟蹊径，值得鼓励。
这是我看过的最美的战争片，也是感触最深的战争片，无名英雄的故事很悲壮也很治愈，他们或许目不识丁，但身为军人的责任感和骄傲感让人们懂得“使命”和“信仰”的含义！
片头开场的几个镜头还是非常吸引人的，不管是氛围感还是节奏都很足，一下子把我的期待值拉高。但是作为战争片的确景别显得很小，没啥很宏大的场景，多近景中景，有很强调度感的长镜头稀缺，视觉上很容易让人感到疲惫和无聊。虽然男主是文青设定，但台词还是有点尬有点二，特别是在整部片台词本身也就不是很多的情况下。整部片节奏显得非常拖沓，本身就那点剧情颠来倒去讲了一个半小时，最后所有人在芦苇里打伏击，两个人在平坦的树下空地玩回忆杀不觉得很无语吗……全都是伏击，打仗场景基本靠音效和刺穿耳膜的枪械声营造紧迫感和刺激感，反正我老被时不时炸一下的声音吓到出戏。人声处理太糟糕了，很多地方后期配音感太强了很违和。
刚看完，导演和主创们想表达的东西多也不多，就看怎么看吧
不仅是简单的艰险任务，还有关于生与死的灵魂拷问，那些因为信仰而选择坚持的人，那些忠于使命而光荣牺牲的人，将永远被历史铭记....

老塔是个天才
喜欢这部影片老胶片式的质感，让挺进师的故事更真实，观影就像亲历战争。
可以看出整个制作团队在艺术上是有一定追求的，努力尝试着从很多方面打破人们对战争电影的固有印象，在我这里，他们做到了。
浙派的美学镜头是极富艺术魅力的，光影变幻间留足遐想的空间，冲击力很绝。
看电影都快睡着了，没有战争的大场面，画面黑白的，剧情无聊。
像是我小学的时候模仿文青写的作文一样 有形无实
3.5星 应该看一看的战争片 最后一幕被震撼到
浙西南游击队的真实历史终于被关注到了，故事本身没有什么太大的剧情转折，但各种镜头、细节设计真的是接连惊喜不断。
不受主旋律控制，不向商业妥协，不靠演员出彩，认真老实用视听语言做电影！用心！赞！
BJIFF2021in合生汇寰映//氛围塑造极佳，开场对恐蛇者极不友好（指我自己……）。故事线还算清晰，不过由于整体亮度很低，很多时候演员的表演几乎隐匿在“杜比黑”里，尽管口音与音色不尽相同，仍然花了很久的时间才辨别出谁是谁。安全灯格外扎眼，一定程度上缓解了水墨风带来的视觉疲劳（指看“黑白”累了就盯会儿绿的东西）……
调色仿佛直接套了个PR的Day 4 Night Lut，对比度不足的同时还能出现大量的死黑，美院审美就这水平吗？莫把偏色当高级了。
想看看土方怎麼轉型為火力投射型軍隊的指揮官。结果完全没有。一部玩POV玩坏的电影。
音效丰富 完成度挺高 主要这个电影的调色来看的话 剧本就不探讨了 故事性差
