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.
总体呈现还不错，恐婚恐育的标配片，不过女主的年轻和年老选的两个演员也太不像了，刚开始还以为不是一个人，剧情层次感还是不错的，值得一看。
她好像终于原谅了自己。可当时如果不逃离那个环境，就再没机会拥有自己的人生了。
怎么最近看得几部电影都拍挺好……就是有点儿冗长。
一次出逃的永久余波，为人母是将自己的一块肉分享出去，也像把厌恶的一面排出去。
配乐太赞了吧，两个年龄段的女主角的演技都可圈可点。这大概又是一部女性会比男性更有共情的电影，毕竟现在的育儿压力绝大部分还是在女性身上，也只有女性需要在自我、工作、育儿三方面艰难抉择，而男性往往是置身事外的缺位状态。女性选择离开是痛苦，留下也是痛苦，失去的是孩子，迷失的是自己。
若有若无的窒息感。为什么离开又要回去呢？自己给自己做出的枷锁。
正如电影里所说，作为妈妈的过程是“unnatural”的，尤其当你是个natural person，自我和母性的拉扯就会显示出不被他人所理解的异常。然而你知道，那不过是寻常，是无数女性经历过或正在经历的寻常。
Olivia Colman每个眼神都是一出戏。
电影三星，为费兰特和Maggie加一星。初次导演的故事讲述能力因为凌乱的剪辑略弱，但依托于强大的文本，怎样也是个好故事。女性在事业和家庭的选择上永远被放在一个被剥削者的位置，年轻时决断的选择了过自己的生活在学术界一圈男性中做个又酷又牛掰的女人，也掩盖不过老去时对一对女儿的思念和一些懊悔。为什么几乎透明的丈夫角色就不用承担这high stake的代价呢？而那个老教授是个女性的话估计会被骂又茶又婊上天。
哈，丁克看这个来感受一下多方位人生.没娃真的爽翻了~~~
全片大脸盘子怼镜头看似情绪溢出荧幕，实际上更像一场令观众溺水的导演个人秀，加上费兰特独有的那不勒斯婊味，给人一种科尔曼为导演抗下失控灾难的悲悯味道。
这操蛋的生活 真够令人窒息的 这一切都不会过去的 日常恐育get
有点窒息。想太多又无力好好过，日常是一根扎人的针。
不看到最后，你可能不知道这终究是一个什么样的故事……性、自由、责任、回归……说白了这是一个老套路。讲故事的方式还算新颖，里面的几个主要角色都是代差，母与女、父与女……只是给中年莱达大量性暗示镜头多少让人感觉有些发腻。达科塔·约翰逊的身材还是这么好，象征意义强烈，也让中年莱达看到了自己。片子的最终是回归的，并没演绎出一场悲剧。有点味道，但也有点刻意。
婚前看婚姻故事，孕前看暗处的女儿。每日一思what does marriage bring to women。很可能会是我本年度最爱的电影。
4.5。当女主穿红衣服在舞池中央释放压抑的情绪，同过往她的人生一样，少有的绽放，更多的是压抑。洋娃娃是母性的一种寄托，夺走它的人寄托于过往的情感；被夺去洋娃娃的母亲寄托于能赎罪并获得轻松。
今日反婚反育广告，科尔曼目前为止今年女主热门种子最佳表演
If a man had walked away from his daughters, he would not have the remotely the same level of remorse. He wouldn't even mention that in front of anyone 20 years later. He would contined living his life, like 'normally'.
原来达科塔长得这么像苏菲玛索，从这部片才终于意识到她的妖娆性感。片头片尾的score都非常好听，代入感太强。最喜欢的片段，是女主出轨的殿堂级学者在论坛上的发言串词，其中他提到：“注意”是“慷慨”最稀有且纯粹的形式。大概成为母亲，就是永远“注意”儿女。太喜欢这部片子带给我的那种怪异/舒适，痛苦/平静的感觉了，喜欢矛盾，矛盾才是美。
看到女主女二多处被孩子打断自己的时间和空间真是几度要窒息了，镜头语言铺陈把心理描写的好细致啊，有几处为了描写而描写的感觉又有点多余，但作为首部长篇来说还是很棒了的。幻想了一哈儿让麦克多蒙德来演女主感觉应该也不错叭
