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.
简短有趣的同志小品，剧情也非常聚焦现代性少数群体在勇敢表达自己时，所面临的困境。逢场作戏之下遇到真命天子，总会有这样或那样的扭捏。最后的结尾未免太过俗套，但是胜在看Noah毒舌一人单挑Priviliged也是很有趣的一件事情。
雪原还是很美的……不留字条确实是有点奇怪，大概这也是船长后来差点疯掉的主要原因
不过整个叙事过程中确实重点和角度出了问题，Noah的旁白贯穿始终，又反复在自己和Howie之间横跳，情感力度始终有点打不到人，略微可惜了。
这大概是最精彩的地方，影院三号厅被整个基佬霸场了，大家都当作盛世出席：和电影里一样，影院里坐着全是像“火烧岛”上的那种肌肉基佬，有穿裙子的、有穿皮裤的，还有个背了翅膀的小天使来了，当然，放映当晚，这个独立影院的男厕所里也很精彩。
pride month到了，看看lgbt rom com 开心一下
2.5内容乏善可陈，情节较平淡。cgi还行。产生幻觉的设定在冒险类影片中逐渐常见了。人物心理挣扎渲染不够。
前半段是两个丹麦人和一群勇敢狗勾荒野求生（x）（养狗的还是别看了，蓝瘦），后半段是两个终极孤独的人在孤独中，等待了八百多天。
可能文化差异，不太能接受片中大部分角色，就言行来说，有点把同志妖魔化的嫌疑。当然，对情感而言，关系的变化处理是可以的。
很出色的通讯录喜剧了，不建议30岁以下的通讯录看，毕竟世界观差异太大了
gay版pride and prejudice么
同志版《傲慢与偏见》？不
一片白茫茫的800多天……精神没有失常……真的很不容易……事件本身挺伟大的，中间拍得有点平庸。
“我今年30岁，从没交过男朋友，也没谈过恋爱。”这还刻板印象啊。以及聚会不该喧闹吗，安静留给无人知晓的夜吧。
so gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
好久没看到这么欢乐的同志电影了…第一次觉得《Sometimes》这么好听，Brithey真gay icon！
〖5〗大约是愈来愈难从男性凝视中抽离女性思维独立意识满足受众憧憬，又或是考虑到小成本制作的局限性，小妞电影的确越来越喜欢借少数群体完成本土化改造继而重塑新型性别主义，且作为“性”视觉符号的客观转移试图以诙谐标签化解构严肃现实存在的本质还是在偏向迎合部分少数群体的共鸣，并不遗余力地虚造想象性满足以达成特有形式的物化阉割。
太好笑了吧！喜欢！(虽然爱情线很单薄，但没关系啦，本身就是个童话故事hhh
三星半 真实事件改编份量就已经很重了 所以即便电影本身有些地方刻画的不到位其实也可以体会到真实发生时当事人究竟需要多大的勇气 规规矩矩吧算是 不错的片子
看到最后才发现是傲慢与偏见的变体 除了will很迷人之外 没有其他深刻的印象了
救命 will别扭的让我想起了某些时光（btw谁不想跟一群好姐妹度假开party呢（快放我去海滩散步
