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.
好吧，我其实就是为了看林允儿才看这部电影的。可发现林允儿的戏份少得可怜。
请来了全韩国数一数二的阵容，却没能做到1+1大于2的效果，而是停留在了平庸的阶段。
影片聚焦阿兹海默症患者和家人的困境，关于生与死的命题、临终生存的尊严、现实的艰难。爸爸和妈妈演的很棒，中间几场爆发戏，尤其是浴室洗澡和爸爸自杀的部分，真实又直击人心。映后刘导交流说，两位老演员的表演很大程度上是现实本真的表现，对两位肃然起敬。整部影片感觉想表现的内容太多、有时候会显得过于复杂和连接不畅。最后一段“故土废墟”的表现形式稍微有点突兀，不过也符合导演想表达的故土和寻根的情怀，很有山西导演一贯厚重的感觉。加一星给导演的处女作。
这是要拍韩国版《真爱至上》么？但完全不对劲，首先让人生理不适的就是韩国一贯的小时代味儿装逼气息，整容脸就不说了，一个个都觉得自己贼帅，连看门老大爷和工人也得加上美颜滤镜打扮的跟老板似的，一点不接地气，呸，烂片。
因为在b站被安利了元珍雅和李东旭那段 不过真的看完电影就大概有一种曼哈顿女佣的错觉～别的不说 徐康俊（李江）唱的那首歌叫什么名字～
好像每年都有这样一部电影，只是为了完成限定日的仪式感，基本上能看就行。几个选角应该调换一下，最无法认同的就是土狗配小仙女。韩智敏的收尾好随意，过于草率也很可惜。无功无过多一星给狠狠拿捏我的老年人爱情：“如果有天我们又变成了一个人，到时候就跟我结婚吧。我们总有一天会再见的，在那之前你要好好生活。”
三条线我一条没看明白，鸡头驴尾巴，结尾在恶心谁呢，强行催泪，是不是还要留给我一个无限遐想空间啊，我想你妈了
有时候童话很美好，但现实很残酷。
没有意思，无聊，剧情枯燥，看不懂作者想表达什么
线太多，显得就很杂了，每条线的剧本也挺随意。当然，作为贺岁片，质量还算可以，比国内群星云集的贺岁片质量好多了
新年快乐，套路的温暖
《来处是归途》能够成为从山西出发单元的开幕影片确实让人惊喜。同时作为导演的处女座，影片有很多可圈可点之处，尤其是对生活细节刻画的处理值得让观众细细品味，也能引起观众的共情。从阿尔兹海默症这个引子展开叙述，延伸至对家庭亲情、社会关注与死亡的探讨，从这个结构来说剧本是较完整的，并且看完后值得讨论的点也很多，比如，女儿给父亲脱裤子洗澡，母亲崩溃大哭，真赤裸裸的让观众感受到人之尊严的问题。镜头上长镜头运用较多，还有一些比较超现实主义的镜头。除了这些，两位老演员演的可真是太棒了，也必须是影片的看点之一！总体来说，作为处女座是部不错的片子，很有看点，再二刷一下可能还会发现更多不一样的点。
感情真挚 剧作扎实 完成度高 有泪点 支持！
怎么说，我感觉我这一个多小时喂狗了，完全不值，想不到这个导演还能拍出这么烂的电影，全片剪辑混乱，叙事不清晰，演员演技也一般，总之很失望。
可惜了这么多演员，谁能想到这是假如爱有天意的导演导出来的呢。
有点《真爱至上》的意思，但几条故事线都没有太出彩的。
韩版的真爱至上吧，剧情虽然俗套了点，但是跨年不就是要这种温暖的感觉吗。结婚时唱的那首歌真的唱出了我的心声，哎…
又一年了，新年快乐！
影片开始的伪长镜头确实惊艳，另如评论区所说，与贾导的社会纪实风很有同感，只不过在不过的国度有不一样的境遇。
