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.
又一部青春疼痛文学，看完了！给自己鼓掌👏🏻
所以意思是遭受校园霸凌和因为父母反对而无法追求自己梦想的孩子都是不会表达内心感受不懂得珍惜爱吗 简直就是反自杀的主题教育宣传片
评分偏低。酷奶奶和孙子的互动很感人，互为对方的情感补偿。
我想说这是一部关于“生命力”的电影。不可回逆的身体的老去，依然有机会展现自己年轻的心态。
总觉得男主的崩溃是因为发现暗恋的女神原来是拉拉...
有些狗血和普通，只是稍微呈现一段爱情的程式，这种电影就好像定制的，有些人会很有感触，有些人完全不会
长尾谦社剪短发后真的好看很多呀！青梅竹马也是耐看型的，越看越美！特别是为了看烟火大会特意打扮的那个造型，真漂亮！
寄宿生活是一个漫长辛苦的过程。100天……过得很快。
还行，某些点挺有趣的，结局好像有点过于乐观。属于比较轻松的电影
生病真的是太惨了 不想看苦情的 可以只看前35分钟（
新西兰制造的祖孙电影，但除了兰普林的存在之外乏善可陈。题材本可以是演员息影的绝佳告别之作，但这个剧本远不够好，怡情小酒而已。以临死之人回首青春的遐思静静回顾昔日影像，电影角色离经叛道的传奇一生和演员波澜起伏的银幕历程互为镜像造就恰如其分的「老去」终点意味（也因典型气质毫无挑战），影片刻意追求的感伤多半来自她的魅力赋予想象，此外每个情节和意象都是陈词滥调。平静求死的渴望和继续生活的勇气在最后的日出落下收尾音符。这次你素未谋面，令人生畏的祖母不会不由分说就拿高姆刺测试你的潜能，而是直接往你脸上砸玻璃杯，你说I got expelled, 她回以I’m proud of you. 没有一处转折不能被预料，然而还是会被乡村风光和自然演绎勾动的情绪触发泪点，葬礼上的Haka和火光边的拥舞让人泪流不止。
kento弟弟演技很惊喜了，结尾挺好的，要看到你身边那些关心你的人快乐的生活啊！btw这是第一部我看到的竹马胜天降的电影。
有点难过，这样潇洒的人生在生命的最后还是希望得到亲人的爱和谅解，不知道是让人动容还是让人唏嘘。
智慧毒舌老奶奶再生命最後一段拯救了有自殺傾向的孫子，有點治癒有點致鬱。劇情其實挺簡單老土的，但是整個氛圍虐虐的又帶點溫馨。英國人在新西蘭，帶了點陽光的味道。PS：老奶奶真的好美，once and forever。
不愧是兰普林，优雅至死。台词很克制，就对了。
其实我还是蛮喜欢设定的，给了100天去找到附身的人和自己的死因，不去考虑找到或者找不到的后果，这个本身就很有意思，而后的一切就像是在拆盲盒，一点点挖掘自以为的真相。结局是阳光的，本希望更黑暗一些，更能反映社会的问题一些，一下就落了下乘，如果阳光的让人精神振奋也是好的，可给人的感觉太浅了，流于表面，就无聊了
人生是一场漫长的寄宿生活，日本这种淡淡的情绪我还蛮喜欢。
多一星给画面和调度 节奏略微慢了点 看的时候总是忍不住关注男主那么长的睫毛...
我觉得日本纯爱，下次就不要拍的这么长，搞得这么苦情了。
