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.
《首演之夜》
富有生活的激情，跟随自己的欲望大胆的四处冲撞，可能因此给周遭的人带来麻烦。她缺的是成人世界里人际互动的妥协和谨慎，但这偏偏是无趣乏味的。
一条奔跑着的红裙，热切而真挚，阿娜伊斯活在当下，及时行乐，碧海里，蓝天下，沙滩上，自由活跃，一种蛊惑人心的魅，仿佛只要她想要的都可以得到。艾米莉说阿娜伊斯是活在渴望之上，爱的是幻想，会泯灭于生活的琐碎之中，她决心要抽身而退，但还是被阿娜伊斯的手腕的一吻再吻唤醒。追求爱还是自我？爱难道不是自我的一部分吗？然而对于大部分国人来说，两者是割裂的，希望有朝一日，国人也能拥有自由的爱～
法国人太会拍爱情了!看得我心旌摇曳，一颗心荡来荡去
对爱的诠释太平面了，缺少一种催化剂，还需多铺垫结尾电梯一吻才能有汹涌的力量。
I don't agree 胜过千言万语
我没有发现这个人物身上的魅力点
大胆与羞涩的结合 女主总是跑跑跑 好喜欢沙滩做爱吸 黏糊糊的情欲 。
3.5 the last 10 minutes was gonna save the whole movie, but the last 2 minutes of the last 10 minutes ruined it again… an irresponsible asshole getting away with everything cuz she’s pretty. And when she’s finally getting poetic justice, she got her way again… some bullshit
阿娜伊斯是有活力，有生命的人。这可以是爱的源泉，也可以是更多美好生命故事的源泉。Don’t waste it, and more importantly, find your own vivid part. I mean, 创造，创造你自己的爱情和人生。
所有美好都发生在夏天
果然还是女性导演才更懂女性角色，太喜欢这里面这两个女性角色了。自己也曾像anaǐs一样，撒谎辗转于不同男性，只是因为“这不重要”；不停奔跑，却不知去向何处。但anaǐs遇到Emilie，我没有，而是成了Emilie，一个选择让创作而不是爱占据自己生活重心的人，去感受爱但最终是为创作注入活力的人。但Emilie最后遇到anaǐs了啊！羡慕anaǐs，她才是最能感受自己欲望的人物。这电影许多段落看得想流泪，但心情也好复杂…(in a good way)
Valeria Bruni真美。最后分手时的那段话好动人。
本年度最爱的电影，看过的最好看的法国电影。谁能不爱Emilie？两位主角的关系对彼此都是幸运。（我心里的女性主义电影）
为了爱的人，我走进了那间电梯。
电影前十分钟我就迷上了Anaïs。她的野性和灵巧，像误入钢筋城市的野生动物；她向往自由和激情，不受任何既定习俗的约束；她迟到、撒谎、不负责任，但她对心之所向是如此坚定。很喜欢这部电影，这是真正的女性电影，真正的从我们的视角，而非“他者”的视角出发的电影。影片的色彩也令我印象深刻。片中的细沙、海岸、水涧、花裙、书架、彩绘玻璃、复古楼梯，比相知相爱相互坦白的剧情更直观的留在脑袋里。
7.5/10 画面和情节处理得很大胆，有个人色彩在里面。
56岁，拥有一切，能看透一切可还是会慌。最后的小狗闻（互相）真的撩。
肯定是无法避免跟《世界上最糟糕的人》做对比的，但是个人观感好很多；可能穿着小碎花裙狂奔的法国人还是更可爱一些，而后来发现她爱上的人更有魅力、更知性，还带着羞涩又沉稳的笑，蓝蓝的眼睛+“说吧 来吧 我在这里了”，衬托下片子中的男性都弱爆了；anais永远是一抹红色做事也风风火火，女作家则是像一抹安静深邃的蓝色，静静告诉她需要打破自我，把自己的力气完成更大的事，爱欲并不是一切，现在看来我是同意的...但是同样anais跳上自己害怕的空间用勇气表达自己的爱，迈出那一步也是非常美妙的，不论结局如何，非常惊喜及欣慰能在大银幕看到的片子♪谢谢法文
沙滩的戏好棒。但是女主每次在别人和她讲话时都爱自说自话真的很讨厌。
