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.
妈妈别怪我乱花钱，来了美国只要花钱啥都能看到，这能怪我吗？
Apple TV選擇911的20週年上映，很明智。再看一遍，很加拿大。很多元，很雞湯，很人性。All we need is love

没想到主演竟然是艾玛汤普森，真是只有欧洲电影才敢让82岁的老女人做主角，何况这部电影讲述老年女人购买MB获得自身性解放的故事，有很大尺度的裸戏，配戏的MB演员身材颜值都很不错，今年29岁。在电影中是个善解人意堪称性圣的专业鸭子工作者，非常有意思的电影
豆瓣上剧情简介写的是“性心理治疗师”，哈哈求生欲有点强，不过我很喜欢这片，没看过这样的‘情色片’，很有意思，一个道德枷锁附身的嫖客，开始追求自我感受的故事，快乐最重要
可惜因为疫情被取消的中国巡演（本来都买好了票
这种封闭空间全靠对话推进的少数人的舞台剧型电影，英国人玩的最溜。无论套用什么样的大环境和目的，还是需要靠人物关系推动剧情进展的。两代人观念的碰撞与和解，理解与自省才能达到有效交流。Emma Thompson真的是从年轻美到老，尤其第四段，我爱她布满皱纹的容颜和镜前的全裸
精彩啊，OST每首都好喜欢，很好的展现了人之本性，既善既私
我们遭受了许多的苦难，艰辛，可是一种超越现实的冒险的奇异的感觉，高度的兴奋充斥在我们的脑中。
4.5 艺术是永远的精神避烂所！
疫情前买好的池座巡演票因为疫情而取消，最终在2022年国内疫情再次抬头的时刻把官摄看完。It's a story celebrating humanity, and no one is an island. 是的, no one is an island. 希望早日看上现场版。w /Cloudy.
今年截止目前看过的最可爱的电影。
有点过于童话了 但这么温柔舒适的小品多多益善
弥补去年被退票的现场，挑在911二十周年上线也很合时宜，主题嘛，来自陌生人的最大善意
you sound like a sex saint. are you real?hahaha
我们不需要性产业合法，而是需要没有性病的世界。资本主义世界已发展到女人要为愉快的性爱付钱埋单了吗。 如果我五十岁/三十岁後仍无性爱会如何？
一輩子有好多束縛，掙脫桎梏真的很難。看完覺得很感動，Emma和這個男生的化學反應出奇的不錯。｜和K，她說看完她甚至覺得性工作者真的應該合法化。我說，不，這只是電影，所以很理想很美好。真實的大環境下，合法化只會進一步加深對女性的剝削。

人类一败涂地，但依旧有闪光。
倒数第二场戏之前两星，问题不在于舞台设计有多么简陋，而是每个主要演员都拥有两个及以上的核心角色，导致本就停留太短的情绪根本没有渲染的空间，故事的阴暗面也被简单略过，直到最后才能感受到那种被历史车轮碾过的无力感，也与当下产生了共振。
