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.
人这一生，懦弱的原因太多，勇敢的理由太少。光影极美，配乐迷人
这个看不懂不知道是我没了解相关知识，还是编剧就是如此讲故事。
好温馨，好治愈，片长有点短，如果更长就更好了😌
不过以chapter的形式来叙事感觉有点偷懒，削弱了旅程和故事的连贯性，导致有几段游戏感很强烈，可能也是骑士故事中难以忽略掉巫术这个要素，会有点出戏。
8/10. 镜头语言好到发疯，莎翁般的古典主义回归再次让我痴迷。
骑士守护圣女，幽林通向湖底，游戏指引勇气，痛苦与荣耀而已。亚瑟王的那些松散小故事，无非就是决斗和美女相伴，讲来实在乏味，拍成电影，自然需要一些导演的加工和演绎：盖里奇选择了他熟悉的黑帮动作片；商业大片也许会将龙骨复活，与巨人一战；而大卫洛维则携带着A24的标签讲了一首叙事诗。古典的音乐，顶级的摄影，恐怖片的运镜，凯尔特的神秘被展现的淋漓尽致。原著中的高文凭借着衣带的庇佑捱过了三板斧，电影中的高文则选择用勇气面对不可抗之宿命，真正让骑士变成骑士的，永远不是魔法，而是坦然接受自己的命运。
英格兰版的黄粱一梦 无法获得勇气 无法成为骑士 是因为付出求回报 见色而忘义 贪生而怕死 既然怕死 就让你见识一下你的美好未来 成为国王 抛弃爱人 迎娶贵族 儿子战死 最后自己也人头落地 见过种种虚妄 终于六根清净 迎接命运 怎么说呢 电影和原版故事已然不同了 居然通向了佛禅文化 拍的也很美 戴着斧子去旅行 倒是让我想起了林克
既无奇幻电影令人耳目一新的想象力，又无动作电影酣畅淋漓的打斗，也无原著诗歌般的质朴与凝练，那我到底看什么？
年度期待之一，结果压根不是恐怖片。跟鬼魅浮生类似，坚持用木讷冰冷的手段来叙述人物情感，可前作有好音乐和时空道具，这部则完全脱力。
画面和构图是真美，可惜剧情也是真无聊。大概只有对中世纪传说有特别喜好和研究的人才会觉得有趣吧。
这电影蛮好看的，不知道为啥评分低，比较适合小孩看
开头看睡了后来才精神了，如果看之前看一下绿衣骑士故事背景就好了，整部片的摄影和配乐简直像中世纪骑士rpc游戏，但是剪辑如某影评所说有点怪，预告不少镜头都没看到，而且脸盲到alicia一人分饰两角都没看出来
中世纪城堡、女巫、迷雾里的巨人，一个骑士的coming of age大片，喜欢这种神戳戳的。准备买书来看了。
3星全给大猫和小狼，剧情和人类就是多余...
论如何利用电影在豆瓣实现自我满足
3.5 四分给这是自从covid以后来影院看的第一部片子.... 大晚上夜场看的，节奏也确实慢着实有点烧脑 so beautiful but so wired not sure if it’s worth it
你不得不承认，看似愚钝顽固的骑士精神是自然演化的产物，也就是在上帝眷顾的某个社群，遵守诺言总是比不遵守的人活得更长。这一事实不需要再去论证，只需要用华美的词藻和广漠的镜头形容一遍就可以了。
好像并没有什么剧情，但小狮子小狼真的好可爱啊
A24的商业化失败之作，视效华丽，质感很好，可还是艺术片的讲故事手法，甚至套在这样一个神话诗歌为底的作品上，商业片最重要的还是直白刺激，上手就是史诗叙事缺了好多介绍，建议直接看影评补背景再看 - -
女主摔倒后，编剧似乎得了脑震荡，故事情结就不在线了。
