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.
两岁多的然然的第一场电影 我觉得很好看 又正能量
一部《人的迁徙》。多数电影聚焦移民以后的生活，《贝尔法斯特》则关注决定移民前的犹豫和挣扎。感动都来自我个人非常相似的经历，哭瞎了，评分很私人。
致敬《罗马》么？肯尼思的发挥嘛，那是相当得不稳定，这部就算是可以一看的水准吧，情感反而没有其中的技巧吸引人。少年感依旧很足的Colin Morgan，这造型也确实可以演爹了。
太好莱坞了，导演沉迷于自我陶醉中，觉得自己拍得特别美，其实处处矫揉造作，让人无法忍受。电影转黑白之后，我就想关掉它，塑造的这个小男孩，又是最让人讨厌的；虽说从小朋友的视角看大人世界会较单纯些，但导演却打造了一个人物关系处处不合理的成熟小孩角度，整条街都以这个小朋友为中心。甚至要故作高深，将电影黑白化，想要拍出《罗马》的感觉，但《罗马》并不只是单纯的黑白化呀，里面透露出来的情感那么真，跟这个比起来，更显得这部电影整体的浮于表面。
真的非常童年美好了
朱迪单奇依然惊艳，每个人心里都有一座叫故乡的城，对阿方索.卡隆来说是罗马，对肯尼思.布拉纳来说就是这部电影。
虽然我也不喜欢猫 不过作为电影对猫狗高低是有点捧一踩一了 有些不妥
黑白+故乡家庭记忆+暴乱，低配版《罗马》罢了，不过有些诙谐的对话还挺有意思。
一个童年
第一次带儿子看电影，挺酷炫的，情节啥的OK，阿奇克服被遗弃的阴影在朋友们的帮助下找回勇气，贝贝的形象令人印象深刻，汪汪队比得上什么钢铁侠蝙蝠侠了…真的土豪。
跟上两部阿婆的比也还是自恋，但是粉丝如我，对肯爵圈地自萌的容忍度其实要高很多；个人/集体回忆碎片的取舍还是有点问题，整体观感偏乏味。
黑白影像大概是用来掩盖布景的粗糙吧，北爱尔兰首府就一个T型街道吗？我不理解这个空间建设为什么会如何之差。
有些生活片段是有趣的，比如爷爷教孙子做题如何靠模糊字迹多拿分。看来我可以看儿童当主角的电影，但青春疼痛就大可不必了。看此片时我因为睡眠不稳定导致神智不清脑子一团浆糊，不过我还是喜欢的，多么不客观～
假期陪娃看的，基本我全程在玩手机。简陋的画面，没啥教育意义的剧情，不断重复的造型与场景。。。这种动画，好处就是，还有很大的进步空间呀。
这个片头，这个配乐方式，这个影调，像是中学生满分作文精选集的第一篇。
看小盆友的反应，应该是很满意…完整的一次看完，没有被吓着要走
过分自我的影片，并不难以理解，但是难以跟随。
D / 第一幕的动荡出现还以为真的想拍出什么东西出来，结果全片都是糖衣炮弹般的真空叙事，配乐用的更是停不下来。
阿奇飞跳救莱德，天天飞机撞乌云捕捉机宝宝印象最深刻～
街道的制景感太强了。整部影片好似孩童的回忆散漫无重点。整部影片属于有佳章但非佳作。
