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.
我真的看不懂日本人拍女女之间的感情，学学韩国可以吗，三星都给女主的脸。
虽然很一言难尽，但是仔细观看演员所表达出来的细节，却又好像就是这样直白的爱恋
最后一幕的台词让我“卧槽”出声，病娇真的太野了叭
3.5
我真的不相信在我泱泱大国关于妈妈的一切就这样？求求了，妈妈们真的可以精彩一些，这部电影里的内容真的不能是妈妈的一切…徐帆老师这次演得好？也许吧，但说是是故技重施不为过吧？参见《唐山大地震》以及她演的同题材电视剧。
足够真实，所以动人，徐帆的角色真的就是大多数同时代女性的样子，但孩子却是比较不让人省心的那种。在感动的同时，这部电影真的要给中年人提个醒，忙于家庭工作的同时，一定要定期体检，好好爱自己！
呜呜呜呜呜呜呜我也想跟木村爱睡觉！！！😭😭😭
狠狠喜欢了 连着刷了五遍 好爱冷脸山田杏奈啊啊啊啊
中国银幕没有正常母女，要么搞暧昧，要么搞对立。妈妈就是控制狂，女儿就是恋爱脑，看得人血压飙升，干脆叫极恶非道算了，日本名：全员恶人。
三星，私心为了徐帆的倾情演绎再加一星。以情动人，基本没有什么亮点，全程煽情的俗套bt好哭又虐心（各种泪点），但需要说明一下，泪水廉价，好哭的未必就必然是佳作，真正动人的住往不怎么煽情。讲真导演的水平平平，拍的简直就像国产苦情家庭剧（画风竟多次与《滚蛋吧肿瘤君》重合），据说是《世上最美丽的别离》改编，故事倒也符合国情——一个事无巨细任劳任怨为家人付出一生甚至生命的好母亲，在她去世之前全家终于和解，女儿理解了母亲，重重矛盾烟消云散……几位主演都奉献出良心演技，尤其是徐帆为本片牺牲太大了（剃了光头），感觉帆子应该可以拿到一个天坛奖影后吧？人间母爱纯粹无私又伟大，为最后一句台词点赞——“妈妈希望你可以过自己想过的生活。”#BJIFF2021主竞赛展映#
我不光想和你交心，我还想一直和你睡在一起。
韩国的电影、电视剧版的世界上最美丽的离别都很让人感动，这个。。。。
女主的性格非常鲜明，强势病娇自私自恋自负情绪化混合出很有记忆点的人设。即若离的嫉妒心占有欲不断在破坏友情和爱情，然后和同性之情放在一起和稀泥，不看到最后猜不出故事的走向。
为题材加一分。这种主题就是奔着让你哭去的吧？确实也哭了，比较适合带妈妈去看。无论如何，希望能看到更多以中年、老年女性为题材的影视作品。
如果不得病的话，多少中国女人就这么操劳一生
爹味观众认为年轻人回归家庭是个完美结局，就像《狗十三》是个娃变懂事的故事。
抓马狗血千言万语汇成一句“都是为你好”，浓情催泪弹恨不得掐到你哭，不由得让人想起早年间的豆瓣小组“父母皆祸害”
直戳泪点，也有一个爱管这管那的妈妈，很怕她会离去，想到就会哭着睡不着
更反衬女性之生活不易。
其实我知道这个故事有很多问题，徐帆一人独大的主角光环，故事套路煽情，但这个故事让我相信真有这样的妈妈存在，为了上一辈，为了丈夫，为了子女，唯独忘记为了自己，只有生病才喝醉酒任性的像个孩子但也付出了代价。这一辈的女人太苦了，她们用自己的苦、隐忍、坚强换回来下一辈的人可以肆意地做自己。谢谢妈妈们
