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.
我真的覺得太可了
很可能会因为片名和宣传错过的地方题材好电影！
硕士学历七八层楼那么高，可惜离过婚；
很喜欢印度电影，重点是和爱的人一起看。我们国家什么时候可以拍出来这么一部电影哟🎬
★★★ 在印度拍同性恋的电影还挺大胆的，剧情简单搞笑，不过以为有什么反转，最后还是随大流，家庭人开始接受他们的性取向，太一般了。
潮汕方言的外来媳妇本地郎，现实只会比电影更苛刻，远没有结尾这么理想化。
love is love
一部很棒的支持同性恋的电影。男女主以及各自的同性伴侣颜值都在线，与同性伴侣之间的爱意在镜头下也满屏粉红泡泡，很浪漫。
输完韩国输日本，输完泰国输印度，接下来没人输了，脸都不要了
从母亲的视角来讲述传统婚恋观念的转变，改变已经不可逆转。未来已来。
故事节奏再快点比较好，歌舞占的时间挺长的，还是很具有现实意义的

国产电影需要更多这种接地气的片子，而不是央六最爱的那些非院线电影，也不是院线那些无病呻吟故作矫情强行煽情生硬要人感动的东东。
感觉没传说中那么神，剧情和画面的电视剧感挺强，所幸是演员表达的情感都很真挚，妈妈也很可爱。如果把角色换一下，男方去潮汕女方家，是不是就加入性别议题，热度会更高一些呢？
敢拿潮汕开刀，很勇。但全程的注意力在他家有好大的厝（
我为上海没有多排片而哭泣，从头到尾都很喜欢
竟然真的挺不错的！男主气质太五条人了吧！歌也好听！深圳元素也亲切！其实整个故事还是相当套路，但是好在潮汕话提供了全新的气质（甚至很多地方像泰国电影了？）而且有些套路式的转折部分得益于不错的台词和一些出人意料的小心思（比如说和妈妈吵架的部分一点也不尬，表情包微信聊天也真实得很），也表达得很不错。最后全片唯一有成长弧线的角色竟然是妈妈，其实是老妈成长片嘛，也没什么不好的，加一星鼓励。ps不喜欢的地方是画面质感太广告宣传片了，那种流水线精致感反而显得廉价。@卓悦cgv with卡卡
电影略略长，看了三次才看完。最后强调love is love和法律使同性恋领养合法化，特别是最后四个人坐在一起的画面很动人。男主坦白那场群像的构图太太太经典了，赞～多多关注非典型的性取向吧～第一次看关于形婚的电影，最后落脚点在于领养这个点，还是踩得蛮好的。
真好看哟！不管什么题材都可以来一段绚丽歌舞，哈哈哈哈哈😄
感受一下印度的LGBT文化吧。
