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.
#95thAcademyAwards# 中途一度觉得好漫长
对这种特型化妆的流水账名人传记毫无好感 劳模多段高难度的表演是唯一的意义
两星半，Period.
女主演技我服了、感染力一级棒，但我看不懂电影想说什么
老IP就应该做好是圈钱的准备。全程出去两次，最后还是没熬完提前退场了……连我隔壁5岁小儿都觉得不好看。两星算仁慈
当你的心思里都是属世的财富，上帝都会远离你；不要把自己的私欲当成上帝的旨意
和她的第60部电影
不愧是超长篇当中最喜欢的两部之一，电影与原著还是有些出入。
emmmm子供向电影 给个情怀分吧不要在意剧情
为劳模姐量身定做的冲奥片，然后就只剩陈词滥调
plain。。。我知道是劳模姐主演但看了一半我还在怀疑女主是不是她 太强了完全看不出呀
还记得是今年六一儿童节去电影院看的，哈哈哈这该死的仪式感！
看到结尾才发现，影片原来是想把她当作正面形象塑造的，作为传记片不可谓不失败。
失去电台和豪宅后塔米菲的眼睛画上了夸张的白。他和Jim因为在教会为眼睛Argue相遇，为信仰私奔，直到为私利而受罚。歌声无罪，如果那逝去的十年能多唱几首该多好。
万万没想到Jessica Chastain也走上了模仿秀之路
Jessica Chastain化妆和演技没得说，剧本并没有好好表现他们夫妇大起大落的过程，都是很简单的带过了，不然口碑会好很多。（ps：希望劳模姐可以捧上小金人）
#TIFF2021# 劳模姐提名很稳，加菲也有进步。妆化简直让劳模姐变了一个人，结尾和真人对比竟然还蛮像的。传记片本身过于工整，关于塔米·菲复杂多面的特点还可以有更深入的展现。
1. 劳模姐很努力。
劳模姐的演技太棒了完全值得奥斯卡影后。影片本身脚本一般般，没有深挖tammy faye的内心世界，纯靠劳模姐把一个又天真又神棍，又脆弱又顽强的复杂角色演绎出来。
这个影后该拿，一生怀揣热情与热爱面对生活，但电影很多剧作上的地方很差劲，对两个人的关系破裂并没有更有表现力的展现出来。
