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.
有着美丽配色的小甜水剧，单看截图的话也许比电影更吸引人

印象中是第一次看莎翁舞台劇形態的電影，覺得演釋得比一般同樣改拍的戲劇好些，但也不見得有什麼令人激賞之處。
色调非常之美。但也就比Call me by your name差了好几个Love , Simon吧。
科恩兄弟解散后，最不科恩的科恩电影。被预告片骗了，本以为是默片，没想到话痨的受不了。实在想不明白为什么看这个电影耽误
“我和乔丹在这里初吻”“他怎么了”“乔丹是个女孩”“我说的是你父亲”打败刻板印象
“生活仍然值得你挥起拳头等待”

构图摄影不错
戳爷很适合这种清醒的小甜剧，虽然题材很严肃，但拍出了夏天暑假的感觉。
嗐，这结局我是真没想到，没想到是部少年成长片。戳真好看呐，演得也好！
2022.3.6 全片都好像Troye Sivan的MV。
念白很舞台化，背景很表现主义，光线是最棒的。华盛顿和麦克多蒙德的表演就中规中矩吧。整体文本的内核和构思没有太大新意。如果能移植到舞台，复刻光线和背景，我觉得感受会更好。
背景得弦乐像是在嘶吼着麦克白的悲剧，黑白得摄影也在渲染着暗藏杀机的悲剧，场景布置清冷得也让人心生悲剧，这部电影从头到尾甚至包括片名都在告诉观众这是悲剧，如此强大的视听与氛围感极力想要挽救昏昏欲睡得精神，但是味同嚼蜡的主题还是让我渐渐睡去。

高中后就没怎么关注特洛耶希文了 这次一见还是挺亮眼的 脸还跟当年一样一点没变 角色诠释也很自然 他算是俗套的青春片中唯一的亮点了
好舍不得呀！Leo 和Fiat 之前的爱情还让人羡慕，陪伴是最长情的告白🥹可是请告诉我，为什么弟弟和学长没有HE！！！
形式主义，老派的拍法，但是《麦克白》看过太多版本了，这并不是最好的。
22/1/19：能唬电影小白们又方便影评人士一起糊弄门外汉的
面对莎士比亚《麦克白》这样的作品我总觉得已经穷尽了想象力和期待，不过科恩对比利·怀尔德等所属的黑白片时代的痴迷仍然让这部《麦克白》多了些记忆点，成功为一部低成本影片营造了邪恶的氛围和一些气势。影帝影后演技没的说，女巫的肢体语言也太棒了吧，强烈要求加戏！
