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.
哦Peter，你跟你爸说的一样 strong到ruthless 看完开始怀疑他爸真的是自杀么？恋母可是紧接弑父；整个压抑到painful to watch，this miserable woman;“they were mine”!!!; 旧约 诗篇 Deliver my soul from the sword;my darling from the power of the dog. （用剑释放我的灵魂,并把我的爱人从毁灭的力量手中救出.）；Peter大学回去那一幕 对母亲说我不想我的朋友遇见某个特定的人 就对phil有敌意 而且保护欲也很强；怀疑Peter在树林里被phil裸着追着跑之前，看见那本隐藏的杂志上面有Bronco的时候 就有在设局了
很棒，以为是断背山，结果暗地里一把刀，精彩。
[명씨네] 最近很爱这种不惊艳但很精准的视听，卷福不拿奖说不过去
在理想状态下，这部电影应该让人在大笑之余，感到深深的忧虑、无助乃至恐惧。它没有很好地做到前者，但在后一点上却是大致合格的。我自己也会在两种情绪中摇摆：绝大部分时间里，必须相信人类值得也能够被拯救，否则便再无未来可言；但偶尔，也会哀叹人类的寿命实在太短，所以只有极少数的一部分人，才能有幸见证我们这个物种凭借短视和愚蠢而努力挣来的那个末日的最终到来。
喜欢地球上的动物镜头，喜欢犯错也真诚的人they've tried，喜欢嘲笑地球人的贪嗔痴，喜欢最后的晚餐，对咖啡的评论，喜欢人类文明的碎片在空中飘荡，喜欢飞行两万多年后不会变的人性。总之是最好的贺年电影，开启2022，也许更糟糕的一年。
可以说是没怎么看懂，愿意精心分析这种电影的人真是了不起，女人心，海底针啊。
太晦涩隐喻闷平的电影了 看了解读才深刻地理解了男主 与暗恋之人共拥一座犬之山的回忆 生活中处处都在掩饰 却从未得到过 这片真可谓是一道超级难的阅读理解大题 当突然有一个人也能get到你与他之间才懂的秘密那或许就是遇到了对的人了
片尾处美少年玩味皮绳的一段，补足了《色戒》电影版里的缺憾。
Dope. 最扎心的是什么你知道吗，Jennifer Lawrence演的Kate到生命的最后一刻还是PhD candidate，还没拿到学位。哭了。（北美学界representation有点太真实哭哭
醋王大战同妻！ （我就是爱看卷福演Gay，欲罢不能）
能看到山中恶犬的两人,以自己的方式保护在乎的人。
坎姐一如既往的克制，视听语言更是棒极了，特别是卷福“骚扰”rose那几段
(2021TGHFF) (Titan廳大銀幕)
8.5/10.
能把西部故事拍到这个程度，牛逼啊...别看坎皮恩作品少，一出手就知道有没有...
如果将六个月的时间线拉长至五十年，彗星指涉的正是气候危机——我们甚至能在永失故土的海岛居民中看到彗星的尾巴。然而环保主义者们确实是最弱势、离我们的过往经验与当下现实最远的政见群体，大多数人能在电影中看到的也确实是眼前的、即知的危机——比如疫情。
用人物状态以及他们和物的互动去叙事表达，这一套用到精疲力尽之后让影片看起来肃杀但是干涩，克制却又满溢。之前简坎皮恩只看过钢琴课，两者有很多相似的感觉，不过我认为钢琴课那一套卡司远胜于犬之力，特别是霍利亨特之于本尼。最开始那朵纸玫瑰从诞生到毁灭的几个空镜真是让我喜爱。

后真相、公众意见极化、政治与新闻的娱乐化、媒介化、流量化，对公共事务的漠然，政治传播话题的大杂烩图解。闹剧式的讽刺与挖苦，让人怀疑这种丑化对方表现可能加剧了极化对立。
相当慢热以至前四十分钟都很无聊，但！越看越来神，直至最后野心暴露火力全开 ！选了这么个题材又攒了这么多不要钱似的巨星却搞成了一部反高潮冷笑点社会讽刺片，谁能不唏嘘一句奈飞有钱任性呐 。＃果然要宣传任何主张最紧要就是编个slogan然后植进一首洗脑歌里＃
