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.
难得看个加拿大的电影，但是在一起以后又跑去结婚了就算了吧，如果是没在一起过，结了婚，离婚了再重新在一起我还可以理解。
这么敷衍的剧情为啥子这么高评价？？？？女版call me by your name……有一个就行了，别搞这么多ok？
和国内大多数青春无脑恋爱片一比，简直是鹤立鸡群，自然就高分咯
这部剧让我总是浮现高中时组建一支辩论队去征战全省最强辩论队的春天。
感情细腻到位，女主漂亮，结局略拉。。。不过仍然是我看过的很不错的姬片
家人们，我们内鱼青春题材没有什么早恋和下三流梗就已经赢了一半了！
究竟为什么2022年了还要拍这种压抑的，隐忍的女同性恋爱情…身为一个姬佬，在我眼里，这两个人真的一点火花都没有。女同性恋什么时候能换个形象出现在大屏幕上？
以为在蹦床上努力空翻，就能翻过平庸。在泳池里使劲憋气，就会不再普通。最划算的不是逃掉了自习，而是钻进泳池。最珍贵的不是追上了公车，而是没错过你们。最大的收获不是转体三十九周半，而是为平庸且普通的自己努力了一次。我们可以做海洋公园的劳力，被婚恋网站欺瞒，却不能被取消青春的表演资格。
我是被抖音卖惨营销忽悠去看的。结果是真的垃圾。导演前期拉踩流量明星。还说要立国产新标杆。导演看看自己几斤几两吧...越卖越惨是真的！我看了官微还提长津湖真的是太绿茶了...没见过这么戏多的导演！
我看不懂这结局......为什么蹉跎这么多年才去勇敢追求想要的人生呢？难道就只是为了生一个小孩（？
disobedience➕cmbyn➕portrait
7分。两位女主好美好有性张力，不过我一开始站错攻受了……对于禁忌之恋主题的作品毫无抵抗力，但也是真的搞不明白某些信仰的魔力
女主像三块广告牌的弗姨，期待她后续作品；宗教元素拉满，致郁；加拿大的冬日恋情（omg女同故事难道真的只能发生在冬天吗）；火车校园沙滩结冰的海面，女主和朋友在秋千上的对话，好久没看这样的片子了，上一次是skam；洗礼和marika独自沐浴那段有点神性的意思了；宗教文化展览馆也不错；影院打光好；欧洲旅行和“you should been there”太戳我啊啊啊啊啊啊啊（谁代到了我不说）；片名有意思；配乐有暗黑的味道
结局..不太喜欢，既然选择了就相忘于江湖吧
Marike说要和男人结婚的理由那里我简直奥特曼抠哈脑壳jpg 这种限制人自由的洗脑宗教是邪教吧 Jaime即将毕业 有了新女友 去了一直想去的欧洲 而Marike生完孩子以后看着火速憔悴苍老 Marike有没有哪刻后悔过当年的自己选择了这样的人生
感觉被诈骗了，除了女主之外完全感受不到吸引点。整个故事稀碎，结局还要喂一嘴💩。
宗教好父权，妈妈走了大女儿继续当妈妈
“Not gonna let me go？”

自从cmbyn以后，好像所有的同性故事都有点离不开这个框架了。一个平稳的小故事，不过宗教在其中起的作用倒是少见，而且是一种个人的虔诚选择。
