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.
男主的母亲和女主的爸爸真好，出柜的桥段最打动我，还有，女主女二两人在试衣间的那段最撩拨
前中各种抓马笑料百出，后期泪点不断，沙杜尔演员演技真心不错，情感真挚张力十足，每个演员不得不说都很棒，很喜欢沙杜尔的母亲和撒米的父亲，很伟大，满满的都是对子女的爱啊！再次对印度电影刮目相看，就连舞蹈配乐都美轮美奂贴切自然，棒棒棒！！！！
原以为结局会是假戏真做，我草率了。在印度这样有宗教束缚的国家，同性的环境会更加苛刻。
领养领养领养!通讯录不会改变人的价值观哈哈
真好啊，印度都能拍同性形婚，呼吁同性领养合法了。感觉被人家落下老远。
除了同性元素，在两人形婚生活中，男主理所应该地使唤女主承担更多的家务，却要求女主平分一切费用，在女主抗议后，两人之间的较量被上司和夫人看在眼里，两人都劝男女主要掌控对方，可见婚姻的本质是男女之间压迫的关系，掌控对方，直到把对方变成自己的奴隶
用光和影来说服我们！！！
老妈很灵，电影所谓的生活流遇到矛盾点就露怯了，汕头片段的风土人情和到了杭州拍西湖有什么区别，景观感太强
5大学看过一点2012年的《鮀恋》，方言听不懂，情节矫情，弃了。
这样真诚的地方片，叙事也自然流畅，值得鼓励，评分和我预期很吻合，我也觉得是7.5。
挺惊讶是印度的电影。西方国家开放的早，形婚可能已经成为过去式。关于Lgbt的欧美电影很少有叙述这类家庭压力的。但亚洲大部分仍然存在关于形婚和出柜，传宗接代的压力。
意外地还不错，音乐很棒，最喜欢那首云后的月娘，听到码头问我会累吗，忍不住落泪。那个妈妈的素人演员真好，飞机上妈妈问儿子“你说，妈妈是不是很没用啊”，太真实了
也太好看了吧，不狗血，感情到位很细腻，也不戏剧化，战胜一切的都是爱
是好看的！时长稍微有点长
我們這樣有多凄慘有多不被承認
很多时候，你不坚持一下自己， 你就不知道父母是绑架你的生活，还是爱你无论有没有按照他们的意志而活。一生要强的妈妈，最后为了你的幸福还是选择了妥协。
向上的三星半。语言听感上的相近导致有种看台语片的恍惚感。但这是绝不逊色于某些台语片的潮汕方言片。用回乡的契机回溯潮汕传统文化的美与弊，同时兼有时代大潮下海边小城汕头的思变。
潮汕的封建传统，和开放文化的碰撞体现得淋漓尽致。
我为上海没有多排片而哭泣，从头到尾都很喜欢
电影没有说多好看，但是印度可以将同性恋搬到大荧幕上给我们在这个方面倒退的国家带来的冲击感是莫大的！
