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.
需要不带脑子在影院看小哆啦/ 第一次看小哆啦的时候出现 不能拥有一只小哆啦 那就让我做你的小哆啦 这样的念头
感染力女王握着别人手时、站上舞台时，世界好像只剩下她，和身后耀眼的光芒。越来越喜欢看传记电影，尤其是没有明确价值导向的情况下，重点去凸显人物的深刻特点。
7.0 信仰是谎言，是真实，是逃避，是相信。片中最喜欢的还是母女这段关系。非常希望看到北野武把他和母亲的故事拍成一部电影。
越想越难受，再减一星
劳模姐的演技很好，但是电影拍得够莫名。加菲尔德好像还没有从倒数时刻里走出来。奥斯卡最佳女主角可以提名，但是拿不下来。好吧，拿下来了。
真的挺好看的。老少咸宜，小孩子不会看不懂，大人不觉得太幼稚。

Despite her many flaws, Tammy Faye is a very special woman. And in some ways, I guess she really understood what God’s love is. Powerful performance delivered by Chastain - the vulnerability shown is unbeatable. Garfield completely pales in comparison. Chastain’s performance makes this worthy of watching.
“蓝胖子”还是那么可爱，每一次展示兜里宝贝的特写画面依然能唤起那份纯真的童年记忆。
那个年代保守派基督教女性另一种面向。影片营造的浮夸感开始会令人生疑，到最后经历过身心的跌宕，能够确定Tammy始终坚定并真诚地相信上帝爱众人。Jessica的表演非常投入，要好运啊！
化妆一流，演技二流，故事三流，两星，不推荐！
很难想象像劳模姐这样，天赋、勤奋、美丽具备的完美女演员，在她四十多岁才拿到第一座小金人。之前《猎杀本拉登》那段爆发，包括这部里任何一个片段，都可以说是业内标杆，珠峰顶上的避雷针！客观讲，加菲确实相形见拙了（特别是老年的部分）。典型的冲奥传记片，看的就是演技～
难免联想到《花束般的恋爱》。志同道合的婚姻不可靠，因为婚姻不可靠，如果把事业和婚姻搅一起，就连事业也变得不可靠……
演员，表演，故事，各方面都挺OK的，居然才6.6？
支持同性恋性少数群体的福音派基督徒？判120年刑的前夫又出来主持节目了？这都怎么肥四啊我晕。
Reagan, Christian, 70/80s America. formulaic biography, brilliant acting
帮商家刷评价蹭电影票看的，昧着良心给写了好评。
演员努力了，但是我有点没看懂这部片子到底对这个人物是什么态度，真是一部平铺直叙的传记片啊。
竟然是星际穿越的墨菲。妆发完全没看出来，年龄感历史感都在，反而是jim很古怪地一直年轻着。大体量的故事才能塞进时间的流逝感，oscar蛮值的。但有些镜头实在是怪异：幼时被上帝附身？的情节看起来像是癔症发作；小猪起泡液的头被拧下的特写感觉是惊悚预告；与不同男性的肢体接触特写仿佛要说什么但后续并未言及；孩子们几乎没有存在感。
