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.
时代的一粒沙落在个人身上是座山。敢于质问勇于发声就是改变的开始。ps:几位主演全出生在利物浦，口音很正宗😂
新冠疫情只是一个外壳，护理人员也仅是发言人的化身。真正表达的勇敢，是对体制的抗议，是掷地有声的呐喊，也是生活其中时的抗衡，是不愿妥协的自救。 * 深夜救助那场戏，屏息凝神的看下来，焦灼与无助产生的崩溃感来得极其真实。当全人类共同经历这种灾难时，源于现实生活的感动也就变得格外真切。
covid change the world，so sad.face to the death,the world became more cold.this movie beat the heart directly.so deeply.
态度真诚，直接问出问题，不是随大流和歌功颂德的电影，片尾三组数据展示让人深受冲击。
Sarah找Tony帮忙的时候真的特别感动。另外不知道每小时8.5镑在英国是个什么水平？
又是一部类似疫情纪录片的电影，又是恍惚着感叹这是两年前的事情，又是无奈的期盼这一时代能快点结束的心情。
就那样吧 能看而已。
/2021.12.22/后半段好像剧本写的匆忙潦草。
新冠疫情袭击之下，护理院成为重灾区，成为被遗忘的角落，萨拉想救下一个人，可她的行为给自己带来麻烦。当疫情泛滥时，最悲催的是医疗资源不敷使用，你眼睁睁看着患者死去，或者，亲友眼睁睁看着你死去。
齐具社会价值和艺术价值的一个好片
那些阴阳怪气的人看个电影也优越感爆棚。
Crona19 ，面对火车道闸的哲学问题，沉重的让人无法直面
以小见大，挺好，四星给真敢拍真的东西，比那些冠冕堂皇歌功颂德假大空的伪纪录片好的太多了。
不输电影制作水准的单集SP。刚看了《失控玩家》没多久，再看《help》，感觉Jodie演技得到了很多延伸和可发挥空间。中间求助那一段几乎是今年所有女演员中最出色的表演了，看来好的剧本是需要这种好演员相佐的。如果是在院线，Jodie可以冲一下欧三影后了。
封闭，孤独，所以如此向往自由，covid 来的如此快，打得所有人都措手不及，让人不安的无处不在的病毒，仿佛随时就会感染，老年人病人的抵抗力更加不足，生命如此脆弱就这样流失，这才是真实的记录，而不是一味歌颂
就原来是这样的绝望
当疫情平稳下来，我们往往会忽视疫情初期，那些身在最严重的情形下经历崩溃和绝望的人以及他们的感受，还有无数的人永远离我们而去。
nobody is coming.医疗体系崩溃真是太绝望了
作为一个利物浦球迷看这个真是欣慰啊，阿尔茨海默病的男主哪怕忘记自己母亲的死亡，都不忘利物浦队辉煌时期的主力队员名字……朱迪科莫奉献了去年年度最佳表演，那26分钟的一镜到底，确实直戳人心。一部电视电影，预算肯定不会太高，朱迪作为一线的演员，还可以回到家乡接这么一部戏，还贡献这个级别的演技，真是让人动容啊。格拉汉姆这个角色，最后没有结合利物浦时隔30年的夺冠，有些可惜了。关于疫情中的人和事，以及国家政府的表现，本片已经给出了比较完美的答卷了。我不想拿某片拿来对比，因为那片根本不配！
