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.
就凯奇这些年选片的眼光品位而言，这部刻意讽刺的讽刺喜剧反而显得有些神滞于形落了下品。
不知道外國人啥感想，反正本看日劇的只想把坂元裕二的woman拍到失智臉上，出身不幸還單身帶娃只會最後帶到絕症，後續都給你想好了，就說別生了！！！！PS結局令我感到找了一群韓國人拍晨間劇
是枝裕和牺牲自己的名誉，帮人贩子和遗弃者完成了救赎。
看到睡着。6/19电影节最后一天，闭幕电影。亲妈和掮客为孩子寻找收养人。在Event看觉得场地不错，但亲情片不是我喜欢的类型。画面配乐剧情演员一无所长。
三星半，故事框架太像小偷家族了，还是一群传统社会定义下被抛弃、生活支离破碎的人们机缘巧合组建了一个“临时”家庭，导演真的很会在这样复杂有争议的背景下用小细节表现美好与爱的，洗车，缝扣子，摩天轮，坐火车，真是温柔又浪漫。ps：宋康昊缝衣服的时候太慈母了，好神。。
好蠢的表演,大概只有粉丝才会为了那点可怜的情怀打高分吧.
人终其一生都难活的通透，可我们依旧要在这条路上不断成长
倒是很喜欢谢谢你的诞生那一段表现各个人物的私心，以及警察变“掮客”的做法，但整体实在太无聊了，我不愿相信这个温情又略洒狗血的剧情是是枝裕和写的，只延续破碎家庭这个概念实在没法让人满意吧。自我致敬也就算了，为啥还要致敬白日焰火的摩天轮和过春天的警察从天而降？？？我的姐姐我就不提了，要不是枝裕和干脆来中国拍个骗眼泪的片子算了
对我这种凯奇粉丝来说太好笑了，make the fucking cage great again！
故事的冲突平淡了许多，像是疲惫的是枝裕和随口说出来的陈词滥调。
连是枝裕和都开始了这样，没有故事强编故事。反正有大把老底慢慢消耗。
三星剧本，但冲着情怀多一星。里边有很多致敬凯奇早年经典作品的梗，还挺亲切的，能看出导演还是挺有野心的，但影片调度和对剧本的挖掘还是有些平庸，幽默也只靠碎片的段子化表演来呈现，效果差强人意。不管怎么样，作为影迷看到凯奇新作还是蛮开心的。
前三分之二，不，应该是前四分之三都很有意思，但是最后就跟预算不足了一样，一泻千里。当年看到这个case的时候我还很惊喜凯奇终于要接一部旷世奇作了，结果还是有些失望，到底什么时候才能不落俗套的来一部翻身之作啊！
宋康昊慈母般的憨笑，把裴斗娜都感化了。这趟孩子转运之旅，犹如细水长流，点点滴滴都是爱。是枝裕和，啥时候也能来中国拍一部呀?
是枝裕和公式标准化流程作业。主旨仍着力于骨肉血亲的社会议题，欠缺以往作品刺骨的批判，注入更多直白的情天泪海。确实是天主教人道精神瞄得上的温情系。
树木希林换成宋康昊还凑合，但女主的表情确实少了点
作为男人，有些好听的话就应该这么自然地说出来。
其实还可以，虽然内核还是如《小偷家族》一样，但是也能看出是枝裕和想在一些形式上做突破。只可惜处理得太过理想化，不够《小偷家族》那么绵里藏针。另外这次宋康昊的表演没我想象的那么出彩，这奖拿的有点水啊
大概凯奇演烂片太多了，所以稍微有个能看的就咋咋呼呼的。有些小聪明和癫狂的桥段，整体一般。凯奇要翻身还得继续努力，接点别这么胡闹的剧本。
一些典型日式台词让韩风人物略感水土不服，故事里的角色走向都过于理想化，对买卖行为本身的辩解有些许暧昧。素英在剧中有三次眼前一黑的场景，特别是摩天轮场景，李知恩木讷粗糙的演绎可以说是毫无亮点，如果是裴斗娜演绎这个角色，一定会留下很深的记忆点。
