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.
实在是无聊至极！电影就像一个口水电影一般！典型的一个大号小品！前一秒埋包袱，下一秒就翻！
为什么我要拿整个人生为代价，我会恨死那个孩子一辈子！
好痛，如果钛是真真实实看到的痛，这就是隐形的痛，无处不在，蔓延在空气里的痛
最近几年，描写女性堕胎的电影很多，但是还都没有《正发生》做的这么极端，将堕胎类比成了一场战争。因为没有人真正理解，所以安妮孤军奋战，争夺自己身体的控制权，甚至以伤害自己为代价来赢得主动，导演也非常私人动情地记录下这一切，仿佛说，它们还正在发生。
除了《流量地球》的宏大叙事，中国人对近未来的畅想里也需要诙谐。故事一如既往地精巧，完整。喜剧，开心麻花已经玩明白了。
*jean才高中／大学就头秃成这样?说他40岁我都信
大部分堕胎都是年轻人瞎搞的产物，对于我这种反对婚前性行为的人来说，虽然可以表示一丝同情，但也是畏而远之。
当anne大出血被推着过走廊的时候，体会到她 «J'ai fait ça toute seule» 的无力感。看到melodie和lomane跑龙套惊到
不知道法国人咋想的会选送《钛》冲奥而不是这片，虽然它也就是个低配版的《四月三周两天》，但是结合美国的时下热点怎么也不可能首轮就出局啊。如果退一步 就算把技法先搁在一边不谈，也不是只有四三二的，同题创作早就有过更好的作品了。这片拿金狮完全不够格，奖给太高了。
《四月三周两天》珠玉在前，没看出这部电影有什么新东西；甚至它最具痛感的镜头，在《女性瘾者》面前也要逊色好多。
C / 选择身体化与生动化来舍弃历史感未必是好的选择，尤其是同题材作品不少的当下。即便没有那些“切肤之痛”，「女人韵事」也可以摄人心魄。
沈腾真是人才啊……喜剧外衣悲剧内核的片子也驾驭的这么娴熟……开心麻花团队是真的可以……有欢乐有笑容……煽情也不过分……nice
比较讨喜的改编作品，把整个调度框在单一人物私密空间的做法感觉是个笨办法，并不需要用一种特别绝缘的形式来表现孤立和无助
流产的两场戏，几乎可以说看得人心惊肉跳，并不是有多血腥，而是整个电影带来的压迫感和无奈感都很强烈，直言无数女性面临的问题和心声，或许会选择成为母亲，但不能以整个人生为代价，被男医生婉拒甚至欺骗，最后还是需要了解她状况的女性友人推荐女医生。
*First thing first，这部从片名到内容都跟近期美国最高法院推翻罗诉韦德案很契合，想起之前看过的一条评论，说禁止堕胎并不能消灭堕胎现象，而只是剥夺了女性通过正规途径进行堕胎的权利，更多的女性将会因为不正规堕胎而死亡
她即是我，我即是她。
8.5 直面女性之痛的佳作，对自然、对男性、对陈规一次声嘶力竭的质问，不见血但痛感极深。仿照新浪潮的视听语言，搭载沉甸甸的社会议题依然生效。1.33画幅+手持+浅景深，让主角置身于危险处境之中，也令观众在恐惧面前无处可逃。摄影机时刻凝视着面孔，见证倒计时下心理病变逐步滋长，等待某个时机在镜头之外发生爆炸。配乐冷如冰雨敲打窗棂，看似阳光的结局仍藏着无人可答的试卷。导演竟是记者出道，无法不为她的勇气献以掌声。
特效很棒！真的很爱星空和宇宙的感觉啊！！
实至名归的威尼斯金狮奖～女性导演视角在最近两三年大放光彩，这次更是直接亮出真家伙，直接而凌厉的画面挑战着观众和时代
65/100 原始单纯的个体（映射到社会）疼痛表现，仅仅记录了正发生了什么
