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.
我实在是无法理解这部电影票房为啥会五十多亿，大家都被下降头了嘛？剧情无厘头莫名其妙，后面的煽情生硬。贾玲也不知道是在哭还是在笑，表演完全没有层次。烂片一枚～
不止一次想过我妈年轻时候是什么样，看到张小斐想可能我妈也是这样吧，大厂里的飒爽女工，性格跟训我的时候声音一样，都是脆生生的
可是《李焕英》能和《阿凡达》、漫威宇宙这些相提并论嘛！
前一个半小时我心想就这就这
诚意之作，希望往后能多一些这样的电影，少一些圈钱工业垃圾，没错，说的就是陈思诚。
贺岁档基本都看过了，怎么说呢，这部片子的口碑真得感谢同行，不差，但也没有特别好。
画框感很强
太意外了，意外的好看！影片喜剧成分的编织就不多说了，这本来就是贾玲的强项专长，不过在剧情的伏笔和安排上，却让人看到了真诚的真情，真挚的真实。
基本上和夏洛特烦恼一个套路，穿越过去弥补现实生活的遗憾。但剧本比不上夏洛打磨的千锤百炼。能看出贾玲对母亲的真挚感情，但不足以撑起一部电影的篇幅。
好真诚 诚恳得不像一部电影 像是一首散文诗
6.30 台北中正堂
一般，感觉各方面都缺点什么，另外这电影不适合过年看。
但你又知道这个哭是生理性的，被煽动的
被捧得很高的贺岁档 感觉剧情有点俗套 全片唯一的亮点大概是她妈也穿越了吧
贾玲不懂她妈，也不懂母爱，好像更不太懂自己
真的是大惊喜啊！影片的喜剧部分其实就非常讨巧，像是近几年麻花的笑点与贾玲春晚小品笑点的结合和集中展现，虽然较为零碎和耍嘴皮子，但是因为密度之大所以并没有影响观感。在故事上则非常令人惊喜，我本以为会是那种套路的穿越题材，但当最后展开抒情时才惊叹于影片的野心，故事的编排绝对比近几年国内的主流喜剧要强。但是影片最为难得的是情感的真挚，没有去用廉价的笔触去强行换取观众的眼泪，而且贾玲把自己真真切切的对于母亲的感情融入到影片中去展现，像是纪录更想是抒怀，这一点就让影片的抒情很高级。这应该是一部我个人认为近几年国内最好的主流喜剧片了。
像是一场盛大的舞台剧，片中有川剧舞台，并多处运用了微型diorama。当小丘福像童年伊万一样在空中飞翔，看似天际的幕布被划出了一条裂缝，小丘福也从楚门幻境回到了现实。困在自己亲手修建的猪公馆里、喝医用酒精消愁、把粪蛆烤熟、磨碎用来喂养捡来的弃婴。从抗日战争、内战、文革到大跃进，故事走向在意料之中（参《霸王别姬》后半段）却总有惊人的影像处理。影片中三次（？）长桌吃饭的众生相，镜头从左至右依次滑过：老传习社、人民川剧团和酆都鬼蜮。仿佛此时的镜头就是驼儿手里的老式黑白照相机，《椒麻堂会》就是那张未拍下的照片。七月十六日安远路189号，方坛。
电影结束之后，我妈从我手心里扣走被我哭湿的纸巾扔进垃圾桶，那一刻我真的特别特别幸福。
言过其实 这样的电影如果冲击全球票房前五十的话 是喜剧的悲哀 只有诚意 欠缺专业 和《我才不要和你做朋友》中间差了《夏洛特烦恼》加《芳华》的距离 不能说是老梗堆积 但抓不住心绪 忙碌工作中途的喘气 被强行塞了呼吸机 大概是这感觉
贾晓玲说她会看相，她看到李焕英未来的女儿会出国留学，而且收入很高。
