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.
看成了“舍命十年”，指男女主互相豁出去陪伴了对方十年
“向着明亮那方/向着明亮那方/哪怕一片叶子/也要向着日光撒下的方向。”译者以向着明亮那方作为诗集的题目是有着深意的，金子美玲的诗美的不真实却又比现实更真实，始终有着明亮的色彩，然而金子美玲却有着难以想象的悲惨的命运，这些诗却没有一丝怨恨的痕迹，或许正因为身处于黑暗，所以始终向往着光明。
有幸在艺联冬暖深圳影展上看到了这一部《向着明亮那方》，七个温暖治愈的小故事，在冬天看真的是非常合适了，温暖，甜美，治愈。
好像看了两个小时的mv，全靠nana的颜在撑……“只要有你在身边，我感觉自己无所不能。”
😭😭😭哭死我了，片尾野田洋次郎的聲音響起的時候，更是遭遇了雙重暴擊，啊，什麼時候才能對日式煽情片免疫啊，💔
患了大約還有十年的絕症，只能擁有說長不長的未來，但對年輕的患者實在太短了，連談個戀愛都不夠...也算是種漫長的告別。電影很平淡，純看小松菜奈...
recipist的时候就挺想看看藤井拍恋爱戏的，但是这部里两人的情侣日常比预期少（表现更接近无名之篇安娜），比起称之为恋爱电影不如说是茉莉在余生与周围的人相处的故事。
哪怕烧焦了翅膀
有两处快要落泪的地方，一是小火车里孩子努力的站起来，爸爸妈妈说我们就在你身后；二是最后一个片段，菜市场里的孩子们在各种条件下努力学习。
也是小兔子的问题（关于成长）、萤火虫女孩（关于致敬公交车司机）、蒯老伯的糖水铺（关于老人和邻里）、小火车（震后重建）、哼哈二将（双胞胎情谊）、外婆的铁皮柜轮椅（亲情）和我的家庭（普通又充满温情的一家）。
拍的中规中矩，也不能说差，实在是太普通太无聊了。一点点值得看的惊喜的点都没有。男主像张继科。另外我不太理解怕伤心，就不抓紧机会结个婚，享受几年生活再死。

像mv，这类题材本来真的很喜欢，但是拍的真的一般！但是很喜欢黑木华和坂口！！
看得很舒服😌，非常推荐～最喜欢小火车和外婆的故事(⌒▽⌒)
是只看见片名就了解剧情发展的电影，算是日系纯爱类型片里经（十）久（分）不（老）息（套）的一脉，我苍老的灵魂已经无法再被这种片子触动到了。但是是坂口小天使和NANA主演诶，这就是我看的理由。
真的好喜欢樱花树下下意识躲风的场景，其他的没什么感觉，总觉得能拍得更好
有情有追求有爱心滋润着努力去活出自己了……
心中的感动，久久不能自已，到底我们将生活过得多复杂，才会怀念这份单纯的美好。《蒯老伯的糖水铺》真的太治愈我了，疯狂打电话！
手持DV什么牌子啊质量真好用了这么多年。
最喜欢的爱情片还是非岛国莫属，能把剧情本身拍的如此细腻，感情真挚，这是国产爱情片无法匹敌的，这部也是不例外，能把观众带入到男女主分分合合的爱情故事中去，而且其中也有不少泪点，而且并不是很刻意的去呈现。遗憾的点就是这个剧本本身有点老套路，而且故事叙述的比较仓促，男女主相遇到相爱的过程更是一带而过，拍成电视剧呈现的效果会更好一些吧。
