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.
黑木华演起这种温柔腹黑角色真的意外的合拍，柄本佑那种颓丧废柴的野男人气质真的好戳我。结尾太有力量了，剧本很棒！很轻松的一个复仇片，轻松愉悦但是非常带感。
编导演都棒，结尾棒，我最喜欢的居然是那个女配…
3.5；很有意思的剧本，在现实和虚构之间巧妙设置的悬疑点成功实现反转，生活滋养创作，创作反刍生活，双重张力构成整个“现实”——根本无谓真或假，这样的借力打力是推动剧情的杠杆，在全无大开大合的前提下，轻轻巧巧完成一个婚姻恐怖故事。车内单人/双人镜头的分配以及驾驶位的转移，后视镜的视角，剪辑点的把握，都用了心思。
没想到还有点小反转。但是对于出轨的丈夫，这报复还是稍微轻了点啊。喜欢这种填满画面的尺寸。
好看极了，尤其是漫画部分。片名“老师”原来是双关语，取得好。关于驾车，荞麦的《婚姻生活》里也写过，看似是妻子在考驾照，其实是妻子在争夺话语权，想成为生活或者游戏的主导者。最喜欢也最意外的角色是奈绪扮演的第三者，我以为她会像所有小三一样趾高气昂或者楚楚可怜，是我狭隘了，她对工作的热情远远高于勾引有妇之夫，可爱极了。结尾我也喜欢，从头到尾，包括丈母娘在内，没有一个女性角色把男人放在眼里，不过是捉弄罢了。
没看出女主的报复对男主有什么实质性伤害，感觉这个报复太文学叙事，太委婉了，没有一刀捅下去的快感。
到最后企图依据场景冷暖区分现实与漫画，结果没跟上节奏。
网飞自己的驯龙高手，整体看还可以，但是转折的合理程度要比驯龙高手差远了
剧情中规中矩 海兽既不帅也不萌 这个高饱和红色只能让我想到小龙虾
天呢完美复仇哈哈哈 看上去人畜无害的华妹太适合演这种了哈哈 老公可太卑微了
转转绕绕好有趣！！除了黑木华，奈绪演小三完全让人恨不起来，临近结尾看到两人一起画漫画，她的反应明显是事业心＞情欲；而看透一切的妈妈也没有因此手撕小三渣男，而是不动声色看女儿如何复仇，人物都太棒了！
老梗了，跟驯龙高手差不多的套路，连小红都跟toothless长得很像
技术一流，故事三流。黑人女性小孩，政治性别都正确了。海兽不就是鲸鱼吗？开头还行，后面没劲。
全片最令人心动的部分，就算两人一起画漫画。
电影里的妈妈轻描淡写地说出也许女儿离家出走，把女婿和她都抛弃了。《小森林》里的妈妈在一个平凡的雪后清晨，送走女儿上学后，离家出走，抛弃了女儿。日本这种离家出走的文化让我恐惧又困惑，出走的人、被抛弃的人，谁能获得自由？
把主角人设搞得这么讨人厌是不太想让人看吗？这小孩一说话就招人烦呐，看着剧情也是套训龙的路子
看透不说透，用画来解构。没脑子就别搞婚外情。爱穿衬衫的柄本佑还是那么傻呵呵。
7/10 片中的两个男性角色实际上都没有自我 女性角色都在自己的道路上阔步向前 日本真的是很奇怪 女性题材作品先锋有趣 却诞生自这样一片父权至上的土壤
婚后的爱情就是这么难以捉摸，但现实不是漫画，任凭你如何修改故事走向，变节终究击垮秩序。黑木华演得好。
人妻的复仇竟然能拍得这么清新脱俗，一支画笔，一本漫画拿捏。最后5分钟的反转真的不错
