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.
能感受到她不自由，但无从理解更多，如果想要的只是做中产的自由，买点便宜玩具和食物就能满足，就比较肤浅无聊，感觉要么是拗亲民人设，要么是凡尔赛

不斷又不斷的生活日常，編織了一個巨大的牢籠，困住了她的身體，限制了她的行為，囚禁著她的自我，扼殺著她的靈魂，於是心理驚悚的味道開始越來越濃烈，可惜的是，心理驚悚味到最後仍不夠濃，哪怕有那異常討我喜歡的配樂加持下還是差一口氣，淡了。Kristen Stewart的演繹，大多數時候能夠讓我忘記她是她，但是偶爾幾刻仍會忽然跳出，哦，她還是她。
前面的Jackie和这一部Spencer几乎如出一辙，浓缩定格的凝视，挣扎矛盾的身份，故事就像完美的一个球体，从任何一个点走进去，都是摸不到核的、相同的、不断复读的、打磨圆滑的距离感，跟主演一起矫揉造作的浑然一体。
我的王妃，何苦为难我们这些不能违背誓言辛苦的社畜打工人呢。
@STHLM电影节 本片又名闪灵皇家圣诞节。可能因为对戴妃没有太多先入为主的印象吧，个人觉得K演得还不错啊。音乐好优秀
聚焦短短两三天的圣诞节皇家聚首，开头的迷路、破烂的外套、床头的安妮传记、脖颈的珍珠项链，情绪一直都在压抑，在潜藏，在爆发。相比流水账式的传记电影，这部反而以更加隐晦有效的方式展现出了皇室的枷锁与压抑、戴安娜的无奈与抑郁，精准无比的构图、配乐与表演更表现出了类似《闪灵》一般的沉寂与惊悚。拉雷恩在结尾给了戴安娜解脱，却又在最后一幕预示了这位天使终将折翼，留下无限慨叹。4星。
演技太糟糕了，这是戴安娜嘛？无时无刻不让人想起她演过的琼杰特，爆发时刻，崩溃时刻，乃至歪嘴笑的时刻。戴安娜王妃哪有这样缩脖子猥琐颈的体态？王室成员该有的仪态都不对。
“They want you to survive. As the person you were when you first came here ten years ago.” “And I hope that wild horse was never tamed.”
救命！！这部电影最好看的地方就是那张海报了吧！虽然说不应该这么对比，但是真的我怎么又看了一遍第一炉香。。。（看到短评里有提到这两部的选角:) 还有一个短评里提到的“讨好又疏离，用力又随意”，怎么这么会形容！可能就真期待越大失望越大吧，不期待可能会觉得还行，期待了就觉得好难看，再也不期待了
就传记篇而言，是不合格的，但把之当做文艺片来欣赏，绝对优秀，带我们走进戴安娜的内心，那剧烈的挣扎背后的苦楚与心酸……影片在细节，服装，乃至画面感都极其优秀，小k这次的演技👍🏻
将各种东西拍成心理惊悚也是近年来的流行趋势三板斧之一。
小K大型时装秀，人是美的，但演技真的很扭捏很做作。
知晓导演想表达什么，压抑解放blablabla，但看完只觉得无病呻吟，配乐也不喜欢。ks个人特色（长相姿态）太明显演传记片差了点。
最后十五分钟属实给我看傻了，感觉导演想表达的很多但除了王室对人的压抑与阶级对立啥也没说明白，还有，威廉王子真的吃肯德基吗？
前面的Jackie和这一部Spencer几乎如出一辙，浓缩定格的凝视，挣扎矛盾的身份，故事就像完美的一个球体，从任何一个点走进去，都是摸不到核的、相同的、不断复读的、打磨圆滑的距离感，跟主演一起矫揉造作的浑然一体。
另，某字幕组，历史知识是有多匮乏才能把简西摩备注成女演员（。更不用说多次把指代戴安娜未来的Queen翻成女王了。
“这个国家的女人自以为拥有自由，只不过是做着自由的奴隶。” 我可太喜欢本来在幻象的现实（古堡/童年住所）里想要自杀的斯宾塞，但被安妮博林的幽灵安抚，最终让刑具（囚锁自我的珍珠项链）代替自己跌下楼梯。致所有被斩的头颅、银币上的女像、所有古堡里的公主、所有在厄舍府倒塌的疯女人。今年看过最好的历史戏说。
排场肃穆华贵，服化道都无可挑剔，女主扮相美艳动人，梨花带雨楚楚可怜。就以电影表达来理解戴安娜王妃的失态是不够的，甚至会觉得查尔斯王子说得没错：你就像一个没被宠够的孩子，我们必须有二种面孔，对公众的一面要尽力负责。也许是戴妃的生平太被英国人熟悉了，影片就不在观众的同情面上进行铺垫了。但对海外观众来说，会觉得王妃的抑郁不可理喻。
