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.
一些小的细节会觉得感动和美好，虽然整体还有些不足。
复古式的画面，古老的英国乡村风光，悲催的家庭，可爱的猫咪。卷福的表演太有特色了，画家的笨拙、啰嗦、痴迷被他演绎得极其真实。画家韦恩的人生与他作品中的猫生对比鲜明，导演也采用了这种对比手法，展现了韦恩的爱情、亲情、家庭，并让观众看到其作品的美。值得一提的是，那个年代画猫是一件需要勇气的事情。

原来姐姐早就死了 我说怎么男孩长大了为啥姐姐还那么年轻貌美呢 到这样是不是有点人格分裂症……
C / 很一般 “奇迹”立意太高 结构有点偏混乱 叙事太散 也不是完全集中在"车站"的故事上 更像一个数学天才的传记电影
哎，看看韩国电影，能从一句话的故事里演绎出那么多，能有那么多感人的情感，让人觉得那么美好。中国电影就一个加了很多元素的李焕英……
这就是“普通人”用梦想与执念创造奇迹的过程。原以为是一部轻松励志的电影，却被中途姐姐的“存在”而触动到，情感的传承一直牵动着“天才弟弟”建立车站的梦想，最后弟弟与姐姐的告别，也是自己与过去的告别，也是自己未来旅程的开启，有感动，也有希望。

两段反转还真是让人肝肠寸断！原来一直陪伴着的姐姐只有自己能看见！原来冷酷的父亲为了儿子背负着生不如死的秘密活着！原来对你们的牵绊是如此强烈竟超过梦想和爱情！姐姐在火车上对弟弟说了两个字“谢谢”，谢谢你一直以来把我记在心里！谢谢你长久的陪伴！谢谢你的再见！ps：林允儿演高中生毫无压力，还是那种勇敢、粗线条、敢爱敢恨的玛丽苏！与外界只有一条铁轨连接，每年都有死于车轮下的村民，哪里都有坚强活着的人啊！
差不多每年都看一部英国传记电影，创作模式太单调，已经审美疲劳了
他画了那么多的猫，依然没有打通阴阳两界的阻隔，可怜却落得最后人猫不辨，虚实不分。影片的三大亮点是：配乐、化妆和卷福的表演。
Too see others cannot see is kinda lonely
一部指向性很强的传记片，猫奴心头好。几年前收了路易斯全套画集《如果人生都是猫》，当时还想什么时候能在银幕或荧屏上一睹这位神人的风采。卷福继续发挥了影帝全能，把这位改变了猫在人类眼里邪典形象、让猫真正走进人类生活里成为治愈首选的艺术家，鲜活地还原。爱人短暂的生命，让他决意以爱猫画猫的终生执念来延续。视听语言高度统一，以精致的犹如一幅幅油画般的色彩和构图，辅助呈现这位在外人看来略显神经质的传奇画家一生。

艺术家观察，体验，转换。让痛苦与美得以结合，就像柔美的阳光下被病痛折磨的Emily一样，迸发出强烈的生命之美。
姐姐：你想过我会陪你多长时间吗？为了你好，我一直都想离开。但是你知道为什么我还没走吗？我想让你笑着说：我要离开这里了。我一直在等。
配乐好听
首先，作为传记片，真实的故事为剧情奠定了扎实的基础。
看见奶牛猫咪彼得爬上楼梯真的好萌，老年卷福更有感觉，马上去买路易韦恩的猫猫画册，之前看的好多幅原来是他的。
猫很孤独，还兼具胆小和勇敢，就和我们一样。作为传记片，肯定有些地方是简繁不得当的，但是这些叙事上不足全被渗透在每一个角落的孤独和灵气所掩盖，构成这和画一样美的作品。那些和她在一起的镜头，是真的美的像画一般，艾米莉能够带给他的，是让他学会画生命中美好的事，之后再也没人懂他，猫也是，但想起它们，应该就感觉没那么糟了。
