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.
第五个麦克白！开头女巫过分可怕，半夜刺杀那一幕也真实的可怕；denzel好镇定啊，称王跳脚那段算是一个情绪小高潮了；最后打戏颇英雄，不过是黑白的叶子；把莎士比亚缺的预言里的儿子线补上来了；片子stage感很强，像一个童话寓言，感觉会适合做成蒂姆伯顿式动画；hollow crown
突兀的精致，无时无刻不在提示着摄影、布景均是包装，虚假的电影感——除却后电影还留下什么？无非是一堆看似高级的零部件机械、生硬地运作着，一种美名为“艺术”的non-cinema：的确是艺术性的，但却是电影亟须破除的症候。
4:3 黑白画幅，极简的布景，以及光影和大理石构造出来的对称工整的构图，保证了极高的观赏性和舒适感。可是晦涩生硬的台词和一丝故作深沉的表演，让影片本身便成舞台剧，表演痕迹过重 @AppleTV+

面对莎士比亚《麦克白》这样的作品我总觉得已经穷尽了想象力和期待，不过科恩对比利·怀尔德等所属的黑白片时代的痴迷仍然让这部《麦克白》多了些记忆点，成功为一部低成本影片营造了邪恶的氛围和一些气势。影帝影后演技没的说，女巫的肢体语言也太棒了吧，强烈要求加戏！
与其说是电影倒不如说是一场氛围灯光布景都极佳的戏剧，只是剧本有点太简单…
构图摄影不错
好好哦 虽然缺乏一些张力 但还是被某刻所打动 很真挚 很清新
很奇特，忠于莎士比亚，又不多于莎士比亚，并且，是纯然电影式的，在挖掘故事意涵上，依旧杰出。
明明可以拍成很细腻的青春片，对手演员和剧本都太平淡了，anyway戳宝真的好美
戳爺張揚自我的個性從來都是一以貫之的，這在他的作品中隨處可見。但是演電影不像出唱片，動動嘴耍個酷。電影中，故事情節和演技缺一不可！
2190。两年后还在说热恋期间的情话，感觉太假了。后面20分钟全是拍摄花絮，有什么意义？拖时间骗钱？
现代的表演方式，风格鲜明的同时又不失与麦克白相衬的古典气息，属于旧事新说的优秀范本了。
表现主义的主观现实弥散着荒诞离奇，极简主义的黑白布景充斥着焦躁不安，形式主义的运镜构图回荡着古典情怀的啼鸣——优美，但没劲。电影已然前行了一个世纪，难道还离不开戏剧的影子吗。
这部电影除了戳爷的美貌，没觉得有什么可看的。另，男二怎么看怎么像个傻子，纯字面意思那种…
没想到戳爷演技还挺不错的…很佛罗里达夏天的一部青春电影
欣喜出自作品之外。A24探寻电影新风格的做法是回溯到戏剧的本源，先破后立。而我始终相信，传统戏剧与电影的未来是相互提示的，莎士比亚很可能就是那把打开新世界大门的钥匙。
有事吗？这部比刻在你心底的名字评分低？好夸张……整体逻辑自洽，中间还是有戳人的点，镜头也很好看…我觉得算是中上了吧…是不是因为AIDS题材共情少呢…（所以影评有人说男主“无情”？我无语先…）（看完后马上下单了艾滋病检测试剂…）
好像话剧舞台一样的麦克白城堡。
一般拍summer romance都不太容易出错 鲜艳的配色清爽的少年加上恰到好处的配乐 氛围就出来一半了 剧情确实是很常规但也流畅 讲爱情友谊家庭实际上都是在讲个人的成长 唯一不足的就是最后那段everyone leaves me 的煽情略刻意 整体上戳爷演得还不错 青春就是等待与未知 重要的是你是否能以“raise your fist in the air”的姿态等待…
