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.
我的左手边坐着一对感觉在一起很多年的女朋友，电影结束时，一个问另一个是不是对女校这段特别有感触，另一个反问：我唔明最尾点解係咁。
通过考古知道了最近某音很火的短视频剧情原来就来自这里
不过很喜欢李咏蓝，爱的很纯粹也很坦荡。哭过…
校园les故事，港式小清新，剧情有点拖拉，东亚拉拉故事最后都是这种be了吧。另外一位也太像沈佳宜了吧。多一星给两位演技。and林二汶嗓音也太适合这类剧情了吧。
当然最无语的还是重遇后的“如果到了30岁我们都还是一个人的话，我们就结婚吧。在这之前我们不要见面。”然后杨在30岁时结婚了。但演员、台词和镜头表达出来的是：她们是互相喜欢的。
整部电影几乎都看不进去，亲吻交谈和床戏都感觉情绪不够，让人觉得有点别扭，不知道是剧情问题还是演技问题，此处对比的是《蝴蝶》。拉快进的方式直接来到婚礼，从靠近说“你的内衣又扣错了”开始感到震动，从这里到全片结束的五六分钟里，层层堆叠上去，眼泪在回忆画面两人坐在地板上看电视，女生睡着了，另一个靠近很温柔的说“我爱你”，此刻情绪被带到峰值。难究其因，但爱情它来过，存在过。
整部片子情节没什么亮点，道尽了亚洲女同的处境，是大胆。很讽刺，刚看完《侧耳倾听》还赞美青春的感情促使人变得更好。额，其实这也是一种美好，只是遗憾的美好。两个主人公选择了两条人生，无论怎样，希望所有人能坚持所爱，能坚持所爱的人生是幸福的人生。
有感动到，来自真情实感，正好今晚看了另外一部美国的校园同性爱情片，和香港的这部相比，显然细节上耿能共情。三场戏，可见导演的用心，破处和穿破耳膜-青春的撕裂；对着镜头采访说出导演初衷，戏内戏外的互文；一起走进教堂，情感的升华。同样喜欢叙事节奏的处理，在失去父亲的情绪低位的道别后，留下承诺，为她读电影而后叙事回到开头，让结尾的婚礼充满期待。
后面剧情好烂，靠脑补都补不了。还有柔光给的太太太足了。
0遂boy，1終老，best friend，經典
等我看到吻戏没被马赛克挡住的那一版才算真正看过这部电影
因为女主长得太像某个朋友，令人可以忽略某些套路的部分，从而显得格外真实..能看到导演在竭尽所能掌控一切..也是..可以放开更多的..
不如04年的「蝴蝶」令人共鸣、动容。
不喜欢这样的设定，拍的很没有创新和创新，基本讲这样题材的女性电影都会这么拍，所有的水准都是很一般的水准，演技又不在线，青春不青春，社会不社会，都是表达了一个表面的现象，拍成这样应该更多的是满足导演的个人喜好吧…
没有时代背景，没有家庭阻力，没有原因的分开，强行be，垃圾电影。
吻戏好看，就是有点用力过猛
看完发现泪流满面。代入感太强。如果有如果，我想再勇敢一点。滤镜和情节不行，但两位主演真的很棒！
想给五星又觉得差了点什么 给四星又觉得少了一点 就像她们的爱情 就是差了点什么
为什么女生就不能有好结局？滤镜有点过于over，演员演技后面渐入佳境。两女生一起头戴头纱走教堂，挺感人的。
四星仅为支持数量不多的亚洲女同片
