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.

他们像是在讨论如何处理一千多万工厂残次品 而不是人
男人的自大 无异于在自杀
从信开始这电影节奏才开始好转，可当你准备进入电影里的时候电影却已迈向了结尾，在我看来完全可以切割掉的前半段，迷迷蒙蒙糊里糊涂，我知道这是一种状态，我知道这是一种状态就够了，我没必要再亲眼感受它一个半钟。
这电影看得我磕磕绊绊，可能也是不太会欣赏，但是有一种加缪的感觉，说不好...
太吃男主的颜了
所有的现代议题都带到了: 享乐，无聊，困顿，自杀。但又有一股诗意贯穿其中，爱，写作，亲情，勇敢。
所有“不合时宜”的人和事，与所处社会主流政治理念背道而驰的思想，都被淹没在历史的洪流中，正如电影的副标题，“走向毁灭”。
以为会是像乔乔兔那样得故事，但人物塑造、剧情和冲突都超出预期，主人公去世后，他的文字也被烧毁，整个人都被彻底抹去了
视觉风格强烈影音呈现出彩，加上Tom schilling本人自带的忧郁气质和影片基调相辅相成。最大的缺点就是太长，分为几天看完，明白导演对于这部电影在叙事和摄影上想追求一些特立独行的个人概念，纪录片的纪实性和文艺片的荒诞感杂糅，本来只想打三颗星，看完结尾加一颗。最后男女之间爱情相互纠缠与守望的撕裂也确实很动人。Ps：活着是无力的，唯有死亡可以力挽狂澜。
大街上的冲锋队，网络里的红**，在国家支持下一右一左殊途同归地将整个社会绑上战车
十分现实主义的影片搭配了一个非常“荒诞”的结局，合理怀疑导演偷懒，但除此之外也很难想象有什么更适合的结局了，除非影片直接停在学校或回家，3个小时真的过长，后边那段其实多余
——史上最恐怖会议：万湖会议
看完就觉得，这样充实饱满的剧情，也确实得三个小时才能承载。
落水孩子自己爬上岸了，或许意味着新一代人挣扎着能够自救，而拉布德和法比安这一辈的青年只能在时代急流带来的痛苦漩涡里沉溺。这个早晨他轻快地出门，以为只是去柏林几天……每次离开都一定要好好告别，毕竟活着只是侥幸，死亡才是必然。
难忘入冬的第一场雪❄️德国电影节首映，连线男主太开心了！
惊觉汤姆希林好像一美，都有双安静忧郁的眼睛。
看完就觉得，这样充实饱满的剧情，也确实得三个小时才能承载。
确实是“不合时宜的人”。摄影满分，色彩极佳。最近看的片子越来越像自己，做不了婊子又要立牌坊，抛不开撒不下，自欺能力强到登天，肯为五斗米折腰，活到最后也没输出像样的价值，人就在这样的状态中行步入中年。活着究竟为了什么？
