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.
62岁的英国著名女演员艾玛汤普森的真诚、大胆地演出，保证了此片的质量。年轻女导演探讨女性问题，值得赞赏。
她明明是金主，明明用支付和购买行为逆转了性别与年龄的强弱、从理论上物化了面前年轻的男性，但她却如此卑微、如此怯懦、如此犹豫、如此自责、如此抗拒、如此忙于为一切寻找理由。
前面卖萌还行，就后面流行歌曲和宗教仪式混搭感觉挺诡异的。好奇这个仪式的粤语台词到底年的是什么
镜像的设计太巧妙了，每个人心中都有红熊猫，保留住红熊猫就是保留住自我的完整性。
好想看演唱会啊！！！！！😭😭😭
肯定是到了岁数，更知晓交心的珍重，陪伴的弥恒
很好。预设心碎的小bitch是真的很男性piao客思维了。真身暴露对任何人来说都是冲击但实际上也不会造成伤害，反而是另一种刺激，接受再试探再努力真诚，伤害也会转化为活力。清单和贝基都很可爱。母子线很真实。汤普森也真是强。
红卡一代下的CBC ABC们的困境就是拼命的希望得到主流的representation，从而不得不做不是自己call of heart但是确实是自己擅长的东西，努力到头得到主流的一句“vividly overrepresented”，令人唏嘘。
非常精彩的创意。已经想象着杨紫琼饰演外婆，兰道尔朴饰演爸爸，吴恬敏饰演妈妈了。
3.5，尽管前一个小时剧情稍显俗套刻板，但也为美美与熊猫分离那一刻蓄足力，就这一点打的很准，且输出的情绪充足，创作者找到了一个很好的主题切入，故事包装也贴合。nice
借用Q&A中观众的一个问题：why do we have to wait until 2022 to see a film like this? Sex should always be a negotiation of soul.
有可爱也有好笑也有时代和文化。但主线故事矛盾点真是让人捉摸不透，变熊猫就没有坏处啊，那可不就留着了么。｜20220401 和一个留学生姑娘聊过之后发现了理解小熊猫设定的新角度，也被她介绍的多伦多打动了。
中国传统家庭中成长的矛盾和与父母的冲突为主题，内涵简单，但是故事精彩纷呈。红色小熊猫的形象更是可爱喜人，每一个动作都透露着青春期女孩的可爱，更何况歌舞俱佳，美术一流，《心灵奇旅》之后最好看的迪士尼动画（03/13 晚上看完，03/14 晚上又在朋友家二刷） @Disney+
天呐 你好李焕英不香了
本电影专门做给谷爱ling，做给我，做给所有的华人看到……
家长好像比孩子更值得看这部电影
有趣，但故事平凡，略显俗气，但把中年女性的矛盾摆在桌子上说已经很舒服很有趣了。And where to find a lovely boy like this？
3.5并没有迪士尼套路片的感觉了，比起去年的夏日友晴天，没有那么普通了，但是拿这个电影和寻梦环游记，心灵奇旅之类的比较，显然是太过了，一个优秀动画片，用童话故事去映射一些东西，女性电影(我个人也从这个视角深刻理解到了饭圈文化的形成原因)，勉强达到四星水准，因为最近看了印象深刻的雄狮少年，不得不拿他们做类比，单论世界的动画电影，抛去已经发展出一套自己的多样体系的日本动画，美国也从来不缺迪士尼和皮克斯式的优秀动画电影，但永远停留在动画片是给小孩看的这个地方，反观近些年的国产3D动画电影从大圣归来到哪吒到白蛇再到雄狮少年，已经发展出了一套属于我们的现实主义动画电影，脱离了电影是给小孩子看的这个固化思想，并且渐渐成为主流，所以说，我想对雄狮少年说的是，情节设计上已经足够优秀了，又何必要去讨好他们呢？
我发现这电影对于套路台词的理解和展示最为贴切，我终于明白那些台词到底是啥意思
居然有比疯狂原始人2雷霆狂花还搞笑的集体亮相，笑傻了woc。
