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.
3星半，就像是夏夜一个人喝冰汽水，喝了几口，放在一边，听着气泡在罐子里一个个炸裂，回忆第一次心动时的心跳，瓢泼雨里的热吻，毕竟也不是谁都拥有过。
可惜睇電影之前
虽然在屏幕前，我也在吐槽李芯悦的迷惑行为，但看完后冷静想想，也能理解她，很真实，毕竟不是每个啦啦都能勇敢出柜的，牵绊太多。这部剧呈现出这么多，还能被我们看到，实属不易了，必须支持。
两个演员的吻戏也emmm完全没有feel
爛得不行，直男導演而且還是tvb 出身，意識形態陳舊，不用有期望
想给五星又觉得差了点什么 给四星又觉得少了一点 就像她们的爱情 就是差了点什么
勇气 是真的很难
感觉是一部“标准”les篇 东亚传统be风格
演技 滤镜 剧情 剪辑 都不行。为一个感触就是“冲破桎梏 打破世俗”
在雨中拥吻，在婚礼告别。哦对了这个打光....真的好喜欢雨中篮球场那段....不出意外的话应该是年度瞬间了....
如果这件事发生在我身上一定老死不相往来。老演员们看着好熟悉，好喜欢。我想表白孩子她妈妈。😅 这个“很不真实”的结局，是想消失的人知道，坚持从事电影业的自己，仍然爱她，不管她怎样了。
BE，万年BE，如果不BE确实不深刻。两人的家境 确实会导致两人对青春期这段刻骨铭心的感情有不同的感受，泳蓝选择原地踏步，而心悦早已move on。电影前30多分钟疯狂发糖，我就知道后面有多虐，不过有些剧情有点让我迷惑，有点故意，比如我感觉床戏就大可不必了，虽然没啥，但总感觉有些过了；操场拥吻我着实没想到，很不错；有很多迷影梗，阿飞正传的哥哥和曼玉的经典场景，蓝宇的电视背景音，这些迷影梗都挺让我惊喜的；就是有些场景有些刻意，讲真像拍mv，不过我倒是很喜欢两女主和父母之间的戏
(5/10)滤镜过重。不喜。
《女校女生》。也没那么差吧，除了滤镜实在太难看，白得晃眼显得廉价，很衬很多苦情港乐，墙纸…劳斯莱斯..
“如果我爱你是幼稚 那我一辈子也不要长大”😭😭😭
不明白 明明阻碍都没有了 为什么要强行be
第一次大银幕看👩❤️👩➕soft soft porn 多加一颗心支持一把^_^ //不过还是没有想通为什么李xr最终还是推开了吴，我只能理解为缺乏勇气了。一个围绕着两个女孩的爱情与友情的青春片，最后婚礼那一幕电影院里哭泣的声音此起彼伏。先说爱的先“不爱”，后动心的不死心。咋总是虐后动心的人捏 55
不明白 明明阻碍都没有了 为什么要强行be
逃不出社会的束缚，在婚礼上戴戒宣誓就是我们对这个世界最大的宣泄
为什么要特地播放两个新闻，一个说局长为香港祈福，一个说是中国籍男子坠楼，谁会把省份和国籍都单独拎出来说，怕观众不知道你是GD吗，光是这点你一星都不值
