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.
melodrama，理念之作，剧本稍欠打磨
但是有一点大家意见出奇的一致
还是欣赏庄严肃穆的仪式感，以及戏剧和摄影的确是一门艺术。
你，剪了我最爱的西装，
很喜欢❤这部电影的视角蛮有意思的（以及意大利滤镜lol加成）
为什么几乎所有（我看过的）欧美青春片，全都要吸毒！！聊天的内容也永远是吸毒吸毒，不吸毒不青春？！！
确实有点勇气说“形式大于内容”了，但在此看来大科恩走了一个类似反向NWR式的路。但是拜托，我宁愿去想有人可以去拍一部基于麦克白的《黑豹》；有《蜘蛛巢城》的珠玉文本在前了，还能怎么编呢？所以为什么小科恩会离开了呢？
After the legalization of same sex marriage, what's next?
看完蛮难过的，不管是在同性或异性的婚姻中，扮演操持孩子大事小情的一方总是稍显劣势，甚至本片还强调了出轨是后果而不是原因的这种理由，实在让人心寒……但可能生活就是这样，希望现实中的“保罗”们将来能够找到一个更加爱他理解他的伴侣
突然发现男主的朋友好帅啊 眼镜掩盖了他的颜值
别人同志夫夫都已经演到出轨离婚撕逼争夺孩子抚养权了，这儿还在为发言会不会被删而纠结!
是一部也许可以促进一个社会进步的作品，也是一部带给我许多思考与情绪的作品。从我自己的角度评价，是可以给到9/10的优秀作品。
适合随便打发一下时间，这种廉价的意大利抓马剧，还是能看的。把奈飞青春片和意大利家庭剧杂糅一下，价值观和主题都与时俱进，同志夫夫开始出轨闹离婚争夺孩子的抚养权了，一出鸡飞狗跳无比热闹的大戏。
什么叫质感，简直太棒了！故事已经被演绎太多次，没有更多的惊喜。看看画面和精湛的表演吧。
还是挺有诚意 轻松搞笑又探讨有意义的剧情 当爱消失了我们应该怎么面对呢
当别人开始谈论离婚的时候，我们还在纠结能不能恋爱。透过年轻儿子的视角，讲述一个同志家庭的分崩离析、痛并快乐着的成长历程。每一个鲜活生命的诞生，都有无数人发生千丝万缕的交集，世界上没有完美的婚姻，但可以有完美的离婚。
呃，又一个“养大于生”的家庭伦理喜剧，换了个同性的壳而已。
7/10
喜剧的元素和情节处理得不如同类型的孩子们都很好般巧妙，演员很努力，怎么说人家能出少数群体的家庭drama都比某敏感脆弱的繁殖大国进步很多啊
by the way。我还是坚持，养且育者才是父母。
