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.
很无聊也很刻板，丰富的色彩与其说有起到缓和气氛和营造青春洋溢的感觉，还不如说电影本身就不存在关于“等待结果”的紧张气氛，而青春的设定也是虚假得很，一个背着书包却只用去小卖部打工的学生。“甜蜜的爱情”也没有很甜，剧情也是无聊和刻板到极致了。只能说电影的色彩确实很养眼，也是唯一能够感觉到“青春活力”和“爱情甜蜜”的地方了吧。
谁不喜欢甜甜的恋爱呢？何况还有绝美的戳爷。
男主帅，男主奶奶棒。封家的第28个夜晚，和朋友们一起远程在线看的。
感觉少年情绪表现得挺好的，我也常常会有被抛弃的感觉，也常常烦躁，偶尔哭泣。
不喜欢印度小哥 扭捏 自私 胆怯
戳爷说他想演cmbyn幸好是甜茶演，看了戳爷演同性恋后，想了想他还是先多演些电影磨炼一下演技吧。要不是这是一部轻松喜剧他的演技一定漏洞百出。还是值得鼓励，个人是看好未来发展的。电影没有以往LGBT题材电影的苦大仇深和激烈算轻松＋愉快还带有青春片的阳光，但也失去了探讨艾滋与社会的关系的深度。
life has to move on everyone has to move on
风风雨雨不一定能看见彩虹。色调掩饰不住的青春气息。
Troye对中国gay文化一直是具有正向意义的，他也同样拥有超高演员天赋，片中的脆弱感如同甜茶在《请以你的名字呼唤我》，而那种青春的倔强感如同多兰在《我杀了我妈妈》。马卡龙的色彩，浸入极具Troye灵魂与情绪的影像，细碎的青春台词和他天使般的面庞打破线性剧情，每帧与配乐在一起美到极致。任何一种疾病都应该去污名化，不管是艾滋病，还是心理疾病。
6/10。导演处女作？ Troye的个人色彩还是过于强烈了，and严重怀疑导演就是戳的粉丝吧，哈哈哈哈。 去掉很多MV式的画面，剧情更加紧凑一些其实立意不差。 就是女闺蜜的感情戏明显有点水了，既然这样还不如不去刻画。 如果是戳的粉丝，那么还是好看看的。
宝贝 你是万里挑一的
为什么不给Caleb在Karaoke安排一首戳爷的歌😜
如果真的在一起就俗了很多 毕竟青春是只要有阳光就能生长的野蛮生物 不过这种愤世嫉俗的亢奋感让我切出去平息了好几次不要对他们把爆米花撒在床上发火 佛罗里达的夏天真美 夏天的爱恋就在夏天结尾吧
troye多演演电影吧
6/10。简单的故事，平铺直叙，虽然没什么深度，但整体的风格、节奏与摄影看着都满舒适的，尤其是配乐，选得实在太棒了。
六月意外，七月沦陷，八月流逝匆匆。一年的四分之一，焦虑假期，也是纽约序曲。残酷夏日，佛罗里达有一处小型超市、一所游乐园，和一片海滩，那些是他的科尼街。
色彩很美，故事一般。全程桃花眼for戳爷的逆天颜值。

我一直认为她不是一个好的母亲，原来只是她不够爱我。
