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.
8.0/10 超过及格线的传记片，劳模真的拼啊。
两个主角的演技可太好了，气质神态表情拿捏得很到位
妆发和劳模姐的演绎与原型太像了！但没想到节奏能散成这样，像是短片扩容出来的。劳模姐不封后都对不起她长时间化妆损伤的皮肤😂谈宗教信仰，干的一直是违背宗教的事儿，上帝保佑美利坚。
哈哈～怎么觉得加菲也还不错。可能在美国太出名了有些细节和过渡就默认不作交代了导致感觉浮皮潦草，劳模姐毁容演出是不错的，但是……私心希望她是以一个更个性的女性角色捧下小金人
宗教icon+女权icon+性少数icon+电视icon，今日社会景观四倍浓缩出一个角色，可惜这般用力的塑造所呈现的效果似乎都打不过亲粉丝都不敢认的妆造。至于Tammy，什么Tammy，加菲顶着那张皱纹很假的娃娃脸叫的每一声Tammy在我看来都是mommy。
Jessica Chastain的演技几乎是唯一亮点，但这个点有点过于亮了，两小时内让你从wtf到aww到tired到admired到hate到pity的态度里反复横跳却仍然是同一个tammy faye~
四平八稳的传记片，“劳模姐”确实对得起自己这个昵称。
美国人的宗教敛财故事，当然中国也有，就是说着说着他自己都把自己说相信了。女主角的表演让人印象深刻，男主则逊色许多。
女主全程苦瓜脸，死鱼眼，真不相信这是纽约来的妞，结局更是扯。
就一个以上地之名行苟且之事的故事，我没看到神迹，没看到祂的爱，也没看到他们对祂的爱，我不知道是因为我迟钝还是因为这电影就是一流水账。。。 @2022-03-17 00:32:36
有点不知所云 态度不明确的传记片……用力过度的好莱坞冲奥作品again
传记片年年有，今年格外多，且大多平庸乏味冗长。
为了冲奖都疯特了。全片两个主演都介于半疯和全疯之间，Tammy疯了一半时长突然有给她猛上价值观，但这个人是歌唱得好，能鼓舞人心还是个好基督徒到底哪个是重要的都没交代清楚。看到最后想起四姐的名言：上帝要使人毁灭，必先使其疯狂。《拨开迷雾》《地狱》和本片，互相综合一下疯批配比，是不是就会中和后两部的难看程度了。
重复过八百遍的剧情。卢瑟杀手男，卢瑟男友，卢瑟朋友前男友，卢瑟男友同事，卢瑟男警察，卢瑟超市男经理，甚至那个被陷害的水管工也是一脸卢瑟像。恐男做得很好（性别一换那就叫厌女或恨女，但男性就叫恐男，这叫zzzq），说实话，在这个性别对立越来越严重的世道，我是真心觉得干得漂亮，就让这两个性别隔阂越来越深，跟中西方一样，跟白人黑人黄人一样，跟各大宗教一样，跟阶层一样，大家一起刚到死。
勞模演的很棒 可以封后的水準 但劇本欠缺深度 包括她家庭 她自己的家庭 小孩 怎都不見刻劃?
又是一部典型的好莱坞颁奖季特供传记片，形式老套，陈陈相因。虽然电影十分平庸，但是劳模姐值得！不过也不得不感叹，为了梦寐以求的奖项，劳模姐最终还是妥协了。｜5.5
做到了三分电影里各方面的极致，女主美到可以做Amber高替，赶紧去演海后一炮而红
传记电影看起来尤其让人唏嘘，这女孩小时候多可爱多纯真，一心向善的人遇到鸡贼卷入人世间……我估计这届是影后吧。
影片中的Tammy Faye是个爱所有人的事业女性 着重展现了她对homosexual的支持 婚外情是她唯一可被指摘的(但这也是由于丈夫生活中对她的冷漠) 难说这部电影展现的人物、选择的事件都是完全真实的 但Jessica Chastain的表演为她饰演的角色赋予了实感
只有妈妈才是人间清醒。利用传教骗钱，洗脑，哇，这和传销有什么不一样？把自己的私欲说成是上帝的旨意，居然大家都信？靠一张嘴皮子吹，再加上有感染力的表演，就是财富密码了？妆发化得确实牛逼，演技也没有问题，但我仍然不认为是部值得一看的片子，想了解真实故事的话我为什么不去看同名纪录片？
