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.
二女儿的感情戏部分，俺不理解。
平平淡淡的，反正也还好，类似于《真爱至上》
有幸在学校观影了这一部影片，总体来说非常不错，能够引发对人生和人物形象的思考，情节质朴，前面给我一种看百鸟朝凤的中国民俗氛围，情节的推动使整部影片更有深度。感谢这么优秀的制作，感谢导演。
有些平，这个题材也不新，加入了犀牛的概念，你倒是阐释啊，整体都没有什么起伏，暴力的恶与灵魂觉醒都不能打动人
“父母在，人生尚有来处。父母去，人生只剩归途。”阿斯海默症的父亲慢慢不记得自己的女儿，生活不能自理，尤其是大小便失禁之后女儿帮忙清理时情绪的崩溃，很戳心窝子。看电影的时候想起了奶奶，那个时候她已经不记得我，但是拉着我的手说：我孙女媛媛也这么大了，在广州工作呢。
允儿好美
有点《真爱至上》的意思，但几条故事线都没有太出彩的。
阿兹海默症题材。讨论了“病人的尊严和死亡的尊严”的严肃命题。
算是一部暖意融融的童话故事吧——英俊的酒店总裁爱上漂亮的清洁工；所有酒店员工不计成本挽救一个意欲自杀的年轻人；年轻时未果的爱情，中老年时还能再续前缘；经纪人像对待恋人与孩子一般守护疼爱着自己培养的明星；事业有成的整形医生暗恋着酒店大学经理，终于鼓起勇气表白；以及还在上高中的孩子，偏偏那么巧，自己喜欢的人，也在喜欢自己……人世间哪有那么多幸福甜蜜，于是电影替我们造梦，在新年将至时给我们虚幻的美丽。
平遥第六场。结尾的魔幻场面太突兀了，根本不符合整部影片的基调，女主演技也些许尬。整场最佳是女主父亲的演技。观众提问类比侯孝贤实在震惊全场……
废柴自杀居然获得了允儿，临时工丑小鸭居然获得了李栋旭，啊，太俗了这剧情_(´ཀ`」 ∠)_
7.0/10 人老了人病了尊严就没有了 女儿在唱童谣的时候有共情到落泪 不老不生病该有多好啊
平遥目前为止看到最惊喜的片子，泪点很多，抓心挠肝又不矫揉做作，关于生命尊严这件事其实关乎我们每一个人，直击现实，打到你的内心深处！
CJ出品的。虽然不喜欢棒子，但是韩国男人是真的好看啊。一起之等医生跟女主表白，因为算命的关系？开头就觉得像真爱至上，女主的死党我很可以！高中生也可以！想知道那个酒店原型是哪一家。灯光投影居然没有房间亮着灯也太诡异了吧！
乌克兰黑帮的故事，有历史背景和特有的文化，但是整个故事叙事不够清楚，几个关键事情转折没明确看的不清不楚。5.5分。
衰老是很悲惨的事情，有没有家人都很悲惨
6分，这不就是英国版的真爱至上嘛？！但是就每个角色的关联而言，各自的联系太过于强行。剧情也太过于老套。真爱至上，虽说也老套，但是其剧情的安排较为自然，人物联系水到渠成。
剧情不断跳跃，加上完全不熟悉演员，人物基本对不上号。特别是开场就来一个大跨越的长镜头，完全没有必要。
调度思路特别舞台，包括那个华丽的长镜头。男主角确实长得像头犀牛。
来处和归途之间，父母是我们和死亡隔着的最后一道屏障。老家有个形容，说老人会一天天的熟了。这是一种散发着衰老和腐朽的熟，无力阻止的逼近终点的过程，我们能做的只有被动接受、陪伴照顾和等待。
