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.
喜欢影片的都市质感，但可惜后期崩得太厉害了。要是不出现中二的蛇蝎情节，就止于刺激的寻觅，或许电影的定位会更明确一点，而不是现在的一通乱炖。

依然是对演员的驾驭远胜于对摄影机的把控 通灵的变焦真的存在“幽灵”吗？护士和病人对峙的正反打又是否勾勒出女性之间或惶惑或坚定的“凝视”？抑或只是几组概念“文明—疯癫”“禁闭—自由”“规训—反抗”“神祉—鬼魅”的教条主义二元化编织？运动与情绪的普遍性匮乏之下 我们又该如何在当下重构这场只有裸露没有“身体”的舞会？
虽然已经用烂了但形容这片子也差不多
我现在，应该能理解，女主最后洞悉一切，她这一生也就完了。 心里迈不过去的。
看开头就猜到女主和摄影师必有一炮。几个ML镜头十分香艳，因为是偷窥视角，所以看起来比看普通色情片更爽。刘承羽真美。最后三分之一反转接着反转，意想不到。全片显然受到《后窗》影响，导演是不是得拜拜希总，吃水不忘挖井人。
Justice Smith why are you faking your voice
最后一撇太抓马，前面的结构和推进性都很好。开篇的无聊随着女主的自然晃动消失了。
女主一开始就是馋了精致男的身子，哪知道局中局，套中套啊。女二演的不错，前期的单纯以及后期的蛇蝎，都很像。最后女主弄瞎的手法太“温和”了。这片子都这么黄了，更暴力点也是可以的。
前半部分过于细碎，直接导致后半部分节奏像开了倍速。即便如此，我也能给到中等偏上的分数。Mélanie Laurent应该还可以更好。对女主出门后妆台上渐渐降下的粉末那一幕印象深刻。

很奇妙的观影体验，分两次看完的，中间等待时候竟然很期待继续看，很久没有对片子后续有这么强烈的好奇心了，“当你凝望深渊的时候，深渊也在凝望你”，我可能像女主一样望着望着就陷进去了。片子还有两场我特别喜欢的啪啪啪前戏，镜头和剪辑施展的魔法，让验光仪的旋钮、刻度都那么有性张力。结尾多余。

慢热，题眼舞会的一场戏偏短，也不够起势，没达到拟设的高潮效果。作为反抗父权的女性电影，情感力道和情绪克制把控成熟，罗兰的大局观细腻稳重。
人若是不知足，就会让欲望越来越大，直至吞噬了原本的自己。一个被欲望驱使的人，其实本质上与动物又有什么区别呢？
你站在桥上看风景， 看风景的人在楼上看你。 女主神似张靓颖
偷窥上瘾方知自己反被偷窥，女主真是又大又白又圆

女主眼睛好漂亮。片子很优美，但却缺了点东西，四平八稳的。也算还行吧。画面颗粒质感很好，看着很舒服。
故事很迷人,反转很意外,男友对女主那句“self-righteous”的形容也十分精准.
