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.
Look at me in the eyes and tell me you love me.

没想到这几个人物的演出就完成了这样一部有内容的好电影，看的过程中就有想流泪的感觉，看到影片最后两行热泪也跟着流下来，很完美的收尾。
如果妻子是克隆人，还能感受到一丝温情。苹果定制片，苹果设计理念大赏。
本以为剧本会讲述科技伦理或是记忆与真实的议题，最后还是用看似高概念的设定讲述了“爱”，很本真，很质朴。
披着后现代的幌子，讲了一个其实很老套的一体两面自我和解的故事，精致的摄影勾不起人任何的欲望
三星半 创意好 视角妙 执行的也不错 娓娓道来 不失温情
只有我的狗发出质疑
风景 科技 家居真的超好看 这些多加一星 演得也挺细腻的 挺好看的 好奇取景在哪里
导演也是编剧，牛！演员们的表演和拍摄剪辑也棒！
当近端科幻切入到人文关怀与家庭伦理这样的敏感题材，胜在处理的细腻真挚。那在任何一段关系中，被人替代总是不好受的。
最后poppy和Cameron的剪影重合在一个画面中，那句Always have and always will真的哭死。我一直等着悬疑反转，女医生是大boss，Jack变坏，但都没有。Cameron为了爱的复刻自己最终选择退出，Jack为他留出了最后一晚和家人相处时刻。男主开始的邂逅真的让人心动，真的是理想型。金球奖提名实至名归。今年暂时看到最爱的片子了
这部电影的外包装还不错，但是内核我真的有点受不了，齁得慌。
男主一直不是我喜欢的颜，他的戏老是要快进着看。。。比如纸牌屋啥的
作为软科幻，它甚至没有走到探讨记忆与人格的关系那一步，而是停在了与亲人告别这一层，总之有点可惜
——2022.4.1 愚人节
当科技和医学，成为我们畏惧死亡的正当替代品，建立在谎言上的所谓爱，还能是真实的吗？
演技一流，没有什么抓马的剧情，最后带来的妻子的告白也太感人了。
和her一样也是节奏温吞，探讨人与人关系的科幻片。断断续续了一天总算看完了。卡梅隆和杰克第一次同框的时候，我脑海冒出的想法是：如果有一天我也想要克隆一个一模一样的自己，那我一定是为了和自己谈场恋爱。然后室友感慨我的自恋到了无以复加的程度。
890｜3.5，克隆之后毫无区别是直奔主题的软科幻设定，然而剧本不够简洁，情感的表达也不够有力。故事是残酷而温暖的：即使另一个我与我自己毫无区别，但与家人的爱的记忆无法被抹去，怀着它离开这个世界无疑是痛苦的，但也只有知悉亲情完好如初，才舍得放手离开。中间一段配乐居然是Radiohead的Idioteque。
