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.
三颗半星。情节中规中矩，有点太zz正确，虽然看到后面还是有点感动的。
今年目前看过最有趣最治愈的故事了。和想象的差不多，最后几分钟又超乎想象。艾玛姨演的真好啊！以及，真的有如此敬业的x工作者吗
女人在性上的禁锢太深了，这是社会给我们扣上的，也是我们自己扣上的。希望我们不需要等待老去的时候才敢去解开它。
这调度也太牛逼了吧，一群人几张椅子几件衣服讲述一个5天里元素多到爆的故事，期待改成迷你剧
五星。真好，舞台剧的魅力，荧幕电影给不了，荧幕电影的优势，舞台剧也比不上。它们没有优劣之分，当这两种艺术载体从平行线交汇到一起时，就有了《来自远方》，很多没有机会条件看现场舞台剧的观众，可以通过一块相对廉价的屏幕，体验到之前难得的体验。
所以在下次见面之前，希望我们都不要失去这个武器。
1⃣️最后非要去调查人家真实身份想要帮助人家就有点多余了哈，非常“女/母性”，总以为可以改变/拯救男人2⃣️话痨片，我的爱，感谢电影，又对我脑中“女性找男技师话题”拓展了新的视角3⃣️Nancy的解放日记，万岁！4⃣️男主太帅太帅了好性感，期待更多作品，大火吧！
各方面都很出色的一部片，就今年看过的片子，它的精彩甚至不输给妈的宇宙。希望大家都可以任性地选择爱自己多一点，以及多给自己挣（攒）钱

“总有值得你幻想的事。”
看见结尾汤姨的“坦诚相见”，才知道女性原来可以解放到什么程度！
与一般情爱电影不同的是，本片聚焦做爱前的部分，它甚至都不仅是前戏，而是两个要达成“精神性交”一致的人，他们在身体和精神上的磨合过程，剧作在这点上下了大功夫。艾玛汤普森的角色目的只想做爱，而男主角只想“卖感情”（在我看来这份工作十分有趣），身体上当然也有，但我认为他的终极目的是以此达成精神上的性愉悦。两人磨合的过程，也是彼此敞开心扉、互相了解的过程，打开心结才能身心结合，或许，这才是人和人之间相处最难达成的一致吧，如今的我们仿佛只活在对方的平行时空。
I met you in the dark，and you lit me up. —James Arthur
她们只是被压抑的一代，而我们是长久被压抑的民族全体，礼远超于乐主宰规约人的思想观念和行为，一并连同关闭倾听自我身体欲望的通道。如果说性工作者应该等同于公共服务，那我们还处于谈“性”色变，更不用说还要再加一层高墙。
你是我一生中唯一冒过的险，这该死的快活让我从捆绑自己大半生的囹圄里走了出去，神清气爽焕然一新。所以，也祝你好运——btw，钻井的梗是不是从国际杀猪盘来的呀哈哈哈哈哈。
Apple TV選擇911的20週年上映，很明智。再看一遍，很加拿大。很多元，很雞湯，很人性。All we need is love
真的不是应招宣传片吗233演技太好了leo这个top真是让人心服口服 没想到叫个鸭能引申到女性身份 自我认同和亲子关系的讨论还能进行心灵疗愈 真是大善！单一场景很考验剧本台词和演技了
所以纠结仍然是纠结的，想要放开但仍然纠结。
Sex is amazing! Enjoy ourselves!学会接纳自己什么时候都不晚。不知道是不是一部话剧改编的电影，简单的场景与运镜，多数是靠台词支撑，真的更考验编剧的能力，还好撑住了。四次会面中间部分有点boring.但最后一段在咖啡馆艾玛的独白真的是让我泪目。PS：独居人士看完有点春心荡漾。虽然小伙子永远不是我的菜
还是那句话，英国人才能做到这种冷清的温暖。
