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.
当20年前的价值观和当今社会价值观的碰撞还是一个很有趣的点，但电影并没有怎么去刻画这一部分。
很多展开就很扯淡，但扯淡得让人心甘情愿无视掉那些部分，乖乖地被逗笑被感动
女主真的瘦了好多，有笑点但是很爆米花，结尾太老套了直接快进看完的
很美国很校园 但是那可是二十年……怎么可以这么简单的move on 还是很美好的
很爱一些美高青春电影 就是节奏有点慢有点冗长
挺轻松愉快的电影，女主心态那是相当好啊，可能也和她身边都是好人有关系，不过和朋友一起看完，大家最耿耿于怀的就是当初害她的人受到法律惩罚了没。最后再来一下子到六十，就真是加速人生了（雾
贺岁片，看哭了。结尾是拍摄花絮之大型群舞，还有彩蛋，要是和好朋友一起在影院看，将是很开心的体验吧。美国还是正能量啊。
在看预告片时候就爱上了，特别喜欢美高自由自在的感觉，各种有个性的美人儿。女主昏迷了二十年很不现实，而且把女主摔地上的不用负责任吗，二十年她父亲居然没放弃她。哈哈，吐槽gaga像麦当娜。虽然有些槽点，但这个电影我特别喜欢（女主那个演员居然瘦了那么多）
挺欢乐的，好似90-00年代小妞电影，好怀念啊
前半部好像是右派諷刺左派，後半部又好像是向左派致敬～
想不到不给这部片打高分的理由！太欢乐了，也太梦幻了。看的过程真的好开心，不知道美式高中这个type为什么这么对我胃口。而且立意也很好呀，虽然普通还俗，但“勇敢做自己”不止在鼓励青少年，也鼓励所有成年人。最后：凭什么有人过的是这种生活啊，oh, as if!!!
surfing camp里看的，女主口音瞬间梦回deadwood
女主真的即使瘦了还是那个有趣的皮囊，不开心就打翻东西和用手砍大腿真的看一次笑一次，但是我还是觉得她原先更好看呢。好多熟脸啊，Justin真的好适合演渣男，停车场那段眼神真的让人腿软。浅谈了一下当下很多问题，比如过于zzzq啊，还有所有都依赖于社交媒体，以至于没人关心你是谁知道他们看到你的粉丝数，还有学校最受欢迎那个女孩说的一套套冠冕堂皇的屁嗑儿真很反应现实了。以为女主在看到这些会有大的整顿从而慢慢改变，以及找出当时的幕后，结果提都没提，是真的打算轻松愉快走到底了
很搞笑，很米国高中，很有意思！很轻松的电影
男生啦啦队队长，37岁女主的同学好朋友，哇！真的好帅哇～（感觉他和2022年舞会王子嘿嘿💙）
渴望爱，忽略爱，以一个奇幻的方式来讲述无可厚非；但是故事与我无关，因为局限在自我表达的情感之中了。
在豆瓣找了半天 原来是被翻译为 《毕业季》挺好看的 但要实现生活中发生这种事情 当事人应该也是会崩溃 毕竟正好青春的20年 女主心理素真的强且把高三叛逆幼稚都演得很是到位 没想到连续看了两部由威尔森主演的电影 纯属巧合 但瘦了确实会更好看了
Happy ending, but very unreal......
一般般 造成那么大的伤害 竟然一点处罚都没有还活得那么好
很流水账！没有很惊艳，也没有很喜剧，看得出来美国人也很怀念那种没有“矫枉过正”的日子。
