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.
挺有意思的儿童游戏，儿童成人化，第一场戏就能看见大结局，没想到要经历这么多的波折啊。
A sweet story！音乐也很喜欢☺️真希望大人的世界也和孩子们的一样，没有阶级，没有分别心，只有善念
cool！生活落败后还有爱情。光鲜的电影、虚妄的政治理想、如水床一般流淌的欲望都不如彼此相拥来得实在
PTA自己应该拍得很痛快，返回七十年代讲述少年与成人阶段间的困惑与犹豫，无奈于幼稚，但成年人的世界却也只是伪装出一副看似成熟的面具。虽然偶尔也能被女主从西恩潘的摩托车上摔下来而男主飞奔向她的瞬间打动，也可以和坐在路边看着十五岁的小屁孩们的女主共情，但受制于时代和文化背景，大部分时间我只能按头让自己沉浸其中。蓝色炫光让人穿越回私恋失调。
脸部的夸张特写
星途的衰落，投机的创业，心血来潮的参政，途中遇见男女无数，仿佛讲的是两人各自的成长，实则只是年轻人关于年龄和阅历一次又一次的较劲。
电影上映期间有太多大片看，就完全忽略了这一部。再加上另一部同期的文艺片belfast真的是看的睡着了，也牵连了对这一部的预期。没想到坐飞机时候看完意外的好看。摄影，灯光，舞美，演员演技都超级过硬，更难得的是剧情也超级好，并不是一个只重视美感的空架子（比如moonlight和if beale street could talk。没错，都是同一个导演的电影）那种青春爱情友情模糊不清的来回拉扯被拍的淋漓尽致。演员长得不惊艳但演技超级棒。是个很容易杯忽略的年度好片。

看完就看完了，没啥特别的。回头想想，竟觉得回忆里的那段时间很悠闲，神奇的感觉。结论：胶片颗粒可以按摩视网膜，哈哈哈哈。
无法共情老白男，同样无法共情老白男长于70年代美国的青春期。看了一个多小时都没看懂他想说啥，他是不是忘记自己也是老白男了？？
配乐依然不错，剧本电视剧化，很像低一档的sex education跟shameless，青春爱情片中间杂糅着不怎么好看的明星，竞选戏。PTA可能不想再拍神经的纯爱戏，现实可能也确实是更好的受阻才会回头将就在一起，但是起起落落的故事设计真是不好看，感情线也没有跟着起伏发展。
挺不错的
就是说pta拿出这么个糖水小片儿来真的有些糊弄了，敢说糊弄真的是剧本就不太行，腻歪加墨迹。男女演员也选的真不太行，就完全除了美学风格，都很不pat。
我是brony所以打五星。片子告诉我们一个简单的道理，要怀疑历史书
很明显女主是PTA喜欢的类型，尤其开篇时间不是很长的长镜头，还有最开始背影走路的线条，简直太A了！ 回到故事，我是一点都不喜欢。有那么些别扭一直持续着。故事纯美式，资本主义人家15岁就会，真是不同。但只要PTA玩的开心就好，这绝对个人化的影片！
就好比说是一个高级裁缝你让他去做娃娃
这…后半部分大明星们轮番登场，也算是个春晚吧
我跟Coming of age电影有仇 而且这部丑到无法直视
一开始想说除了女主腿其他都不行，没想到从一半往后越来越上头，舒缓的准确的刻画了一个年代，很重的道理浅浅的表达。
多次奔跑行走的镜头暗示着男女主的感情的分分合合，儿女情长就是一场又一场你追我赶的捉迷藏游戏。
