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.
“baby”
一开始就看得很郁闷，但有一股漩涡似的吸引力牢牢抓住了视线。（据说是）一镜到底制造出强烈的真实感、压迫感和焦虑感，同时叙事清晰、段落分明，不乱。很可预测的剧情走向，但看到最后还是非常叹息！
甜死我算了呜呜呜。大家的演技都很棒，能把人带入情境，就是susan姨有点讨厌。第二部快来！
挺好看的，有冲突所以对故事的推进充满了期待，but excuse me，一个原五星餐厅的后厨和吧台堪称一片混乱（无比热闹），简直无法想象，据说是一镜到底，那真是厉害啦！
深陷中老年危机的夫妻两人因素食者重回人生第二春，励志、泪目。
粉丝向大电影。强行冲突没必要，“宝贝”听到我生理不适。明明居家隔离结果屋檐下的人越来越多，这是隔离了个寂寞啊...
被开头劝退了两次，太腻歪了😂结果发现我错了。剧情演技真不错。好看。越看越好看。强烈安利。
电影有点儿平平无奇，期待第二季能给我惊喜吧😥
大家演技不错不错，很有临场真实感。
实在是太狗血了。
更喜欢电视剧版本，更让人上头，但是电影版也很好的看完了，打高分是因为两个主演的演技真的很好，对于泰腐中毒的我来说，这个演技真是吊打泰腐演技了，说哭就哭，而且哭的梨花带雨，哭的很好看，令人心疼，如果最后的结局是其中一个人留下来去追随另一个人就更好了，可是现实中哪有那么多唯美的结局呢……最后说一句吻戏、船戏拍的很好看，很真实，就很真……
不喜欢这结局，竟然还坐监狱了，那还拍的这么诙谐讽刺干嘛
脱离疫情背景和桌面拍摄，这片就仅仅只是一部平庸的爱情喜剧片
素食主义=食草动物，肉食主义=食肉动物，如果能够多一点隐喻就好了
邪典黑色幽默，反传统，还有点恐怖，法国式的装傻充愣无厘头，耳目一新。
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈把素食人权性少数全骂秃了哈哈哈哈哈哈哈看样子他们自己都快受不了政治正确了😜
一开始的直播很有趣。梦里给了Elijah一记摸头杀。
终于用上了正经的摄影机拍摄。Caireel is real
这不仅是两个男孩的恋爱故事，更多的是关于爱与尊重。
一个镜头写尽现代社会工作生活各种高压焦虑的独立电影，痞子厄姆照例戏压全场，奇怪为啥入不了SIFF法眼
