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.
好多笑点，很温馨。就是太清水了，最后染了头发简直帅惨了。

我也有过被迫去教堂的经历，坐在那里的每分钟都在想走…那时候要是有美女看就好了！
“我想跟走在这里的每个人炫耀史朗是最棒的男朋友！”
1，第一次说不放我走吗的时候充满刚谈恋爱的甜蜜和难舍难分，第二次说这句话却是两个人的坚定不移，是对宗教、婚姻的冲破和对自我的认清。2，心跳的速度就像时间流逝的速度一样快，情不知所起，一往情深，你想我吗，每天都。3，杰米的朋友、女性家人都很好，尊重他人，不给予意见、不加以阻挠。4，认清自己和认清规训都是一个没有回头路的过程吧，一旦觉醒就无法自欺欺人了。5，天啊，赞爆这部片子，片尾看着水灵灵的妹子结婚生子后苍老成那样好心痛！！！
“史朗，你说过年只有你和我一起过也不错，我听到以后真的很开心；还有，你说好害怕我生病死掉的时候，我也很高兴……我一直在想，能像这样一直和你在一起，真的非常幸福，但你和我不能只有彼此而已，我们不可能光靠自己活下去，所以，你跟父母的感情要变得更好喔……”，“贤二，我想跟走在这里的每个人炫耀你的好！”，“你学我——”
笑死了, 前半部贤二以为史朗得病要死了, 后半部史朗以为贤二要死了. 不过, 每次看这个系列都觉得他们俩太相敬如宾了, 真心话总是闷在心里, 你们可是关系最亲密的人呀. 也许日本的伴侣们就是这样相处的吧.
最残忍的现实莫过于我们都明白所谓的new system根本不会到来，多年后的玛丽克是否会意识到让彼此不得不分离的不过是自己的执念

导演真的很懂怎么戳到女同的点，核心还是关于自我认同和勇气的事，但剪辑和镜头差点东西，不过好在两位主演之间的张力撑起了整个片子。
影片情感细腻，化学反应强烈，在拍摄手法和剧本方面不是很成熟，但是整部影片观看下来氛围感挺不错的，个人不是很喜欢宗教题材的影片，有点过于压抑。影片前半部分糖分满满，充满了暧昧与悸动，亲密戏份欲值拉满，后半部分世俗的套路使这部影片大打折扣，但是导演在某些小细节上抓的还是很可以的。

喜欢女主。简单干净，带起很美好的青春回忆啊
两位女主挺养眼的，细节也很有x张力。不过作为在社会主义世俗国家中接受无神论教育长大的人，实在难以理解教徒的脑回路.生活中的难题够多了，还不断的给自己做枷锁，你管别人喜欢和谁上床呢。
本来觉得这个不适合电影的形式，但看到最后还是蛮感动的。日本人的情感就是礼貌得过分至于生疏但又包含体谅、尊重与善意。特别东方美学，一直收敛着，一旦破一个缺口就充满张力，或许这种美学本身就很有电影感了。
也要天长地久求一个安稳
内野先生的做姿扮相总让我出戏分神 过了？
前面的进展有的地方感觉不那么自然，但很多小细节拿捏的很让人心动，哼唧~
早上醒了眼镜在对方脸上/吃醋着画了有着橡木树的塔/圣经上的触碰/才不是生日礼物的流星碎片/祷告后的初吻/车后座的拥吻/抵着墙的拥抱/浴缸里的受洗/ido ihave/山野湖际里熠熠生辉下同行的背影/you should have been there/not gonna let me go
内野圣阳的演技真的太好了，举手投足都是一种温柔。没想到今年最治愈的电影竟是一部同志电影，片尾曲也很棒哦👍
