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.
对于印度来说，这种题材也算难得吧，但是两个半小时的MV加全是刻板印象的闹剧，谁受得了…
说实话不如之前看过的那些印度电影更出色，讲故事的水平一般般，但是重要的大概是它的取材吧。在印度这样一个社会，两对同性恋最终得到了家里人的接受，并领养了孩子，这一切因为最后的包容和爱而让人内心感动
les和gay形婚，催婚催生就跟我们生活中的情况一样，结局也是在框架之内的he，真羡慕印度可以拍lgbtq电影啊，而我们甚至连擦边球的耽改都殉了
真的无法想象，我们的文化进步远远低于印度，电影里，基佬拉拉形婚，互相帮助。领养出柜接纳，互相支持。爱就是爱，希望国人思想能早日打开，作为lgbtq一员，必须做出努力呀～
以一种诙谐幽默的方式拍出一个如此悲伤的故事，好玩好看，推荐。
看的过程中特别怕男女主会假婚真做，好在没有洒狗血。
就是那种先让你笑出眼泪又让你哭出眼泪的印度电影，特别适合压抑时看，所以给了5星。
有点喜宴的味道，合家欢很美好（话说两个主角的对象全是混血/外国人，要不要这么极端！缺点就是中间的剧情太长了，后面🌈游行还是很有新鲜感的。这个世界真是不一样了，连印度都在认真拍同性题材了。
LGBT投胎在印度，无疑是选择了HARD模式中的超级HARD模式。
不是单纯的那种剧情或者立意
现在的宝莱坞已经可以惊艳所有人了，歌舞老本行照样拍的好（喜欢婚礼那段歌舞！），主题层面也不落后，敢想敢拍，而且非常真诚，哪怕是理想化的结局也照样动人。女主人公超级酷，在警官上司家访那段好精彩！
太感人了，印度真的跨出很大一步。希望每个人都可以不再戴上面具也能开心地在阳光下舞蹈。隐瞒和欺骗只会让事情更加糟糕。我太喜欢这种温馨的结局了。什么时候中国也能有pride游行呢？（支持领养，拒绝代孕）
虽然冗长，虽然还是动不动就唱跳，但是这个题材，印度拍，能拍能上不删减，我们两国互相学习取长补短好不
3.5吧，玩得还是很早期的同志问题讨论，只是放在了印度这个宗教国家显得比较出挑。
希望这个祝福是发自内心的，不是和解，也不是妥协，更没有无奈与同情
这个印象中还处于“落后时代”的国家正在慢慢向着自由和解放的方向迈进着。没想到是这样的题材，但其实有些部分还挺搞笑的，让我忍不住熬夜看完～其实为了内心最真实的那份爱，性别真的不算障碍。
还不错诶。印度的电影做的也越来越好了！很喜欢女主和女二，男主那一对感觉有点油腻😂 不过也蛮可爱的
男主好芬兰汤姆啊哈哈哈哈
印度现在就已经能拍出同性领养合法化的片子了，Be you那一段简直泪崩
情节走向没有出人意料的地方，故事发生的异域环境更吸引我，比如排灯节的装饰，家庭的布置。印象深刻的有：1.苏曼妈妈的沉默仪式，沙尔杜尔妈妈的社恐性格设定很有趣。2. 沙尔杜尔坦白自己做警察是子承父业，“我们国家的人连公交座位都不会放过，怎么会拒绝政府安排的工作。”3.“告诉他们，家族的火种无法点燃传宗接代的火矩，告诉他们你无法延续家里的火种！”4.游行的彩色篷布下，苏曼和女友在欢笑着奔跑， 沙尔杜尔在路边执勤，纠结着接过五彩羽毛面具最终勇敢地戴上了。
