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.
旁观者清的外国人是看的更透彻一点
可爱疗愈，简直想给女主角一个抱抱。妈妈的设置在东亚文化里就更有代表性了，对孩子自私而无私，期望甚高又只希望她平凡。女性间的相互懂得，接受成长的独特，拥抱自己，给互相空间，拥抱上一辈的隔阂，情节是老套的但都圆得很好
传统的中式家庭观念与西方追求自我解放的一次碰撞，以及，最后完美的结合，既不是逃离家庭，也不是回归家庭。和家庭和解，接受所有的自己，果然，皮克斯的动画世界，永远感动永远有创意！
轻松欢快的片子，华裔导演贴合中华文化做出的构思也很有意思，虽然底色还是美国自我救赎那一套，但是加上typical的中国家长，讲广东话的三姑六婆，中国神仙，用turning red隐喻初潮，释放自己被捆绑和挟持的欲望，和好朋友一起看一场偶像的演唱会，为自己是女性而举杯，竹林的戏份视觉效果特别好看，可惜没有在影院观影。情节推进上欠缺惊喜吧，但是还是很可爱的，看完很开心。评分:7.5/10。
“我太厌倦追求完美了。我对她来说永远都不够好，对任何人都是。”不要再去迎合他人了，要与内心里可爱的小熊猫共存呀。（说起来当然很容易，虽然有点想到了自己。
红熊猫是挺萌的 但是妈妈这个人设我不太理解
男角色都有点工具人；乐队的翅膀确实挺QQ秀的；女长辈们的美少女战士变身好帅；虽说是华人的故事，但却看到共情了；小熊猫的IP挺好的；那个咒语听起来十分亲切！
可能老外会觉得故事套上传说什么的很新奇，又是发生在加拿大华人身上的故事，在我看来还是挺老套的，小姑娘虽然是亚洲面孔，已经是白人内里，不太能产生共鸣。
Pixar中最现实的一部，轻松愉快的预告片直接把我吸引进来，但发现并不是个纯喜剧，对于亚裔两代的关系刻画的还是比较压抑且感同身受，还好是个合家欢的结局！
很可爱 毛茸茸的女孩子

借用Q&A中观众的一个问题：why do we have to wait until 2022 to see a film like this? Sex should always be a negotiation of soul.
海外华人视角既熟悉又陌生，吴珊卓的声音一出还是满脑子Cristina！亚裔女子世袭的家庭责任感有些太沉重，追星姐妹淘的友谊有点过于轻描淡写，但仍然几次泪奔，O-town的歌好听呀！上口不腻人！碧梨兄妹赛高！
fury迷双眼冒泡泡，好想rua。但这部片子的细节其实做得比较粗糙，为什么在祠堂，以及家人交流还要说英语呢？不应该是粤语嘛。还有，对于中国孝道、内卷、宗族、神灵的展现有些单一和刻板了，甚至有些扭曲。
可能是因为我的原生家庭太不中国式了，所以我对这类题材都只能表示理解但是无法共情。
一些思考：
不就是女性身体和心理的成长，居然弄得这么神经兮兮的，简直对不起卡夫卡。至于反传统的那一面，背离前几代的统去继承更老的统，这是文艺复兴么？
皮克斯当然不差，可总觉得那一面镜子就把是非红白划分出来，实在是太低龄了。
青春期女儿与妈妈的冲突还能表现得这么可爱又…充满破坏力呀
红熊猫包含了小女孩青春期的各种躁动，含义也很丰富，尤其它的传说，红熊猫可以是祝福，也可能是诅咒：来月事能生育，长大成女人，是好事是坏事也都一念间。这种人无完人，接纳多面自己的观念灌输，就很适合给容易自我怀疑的青春期小孩看啊。怎么平衡好身边各种亲密关系，平衡好家庭和外面世界，平衡好传统和新鲜，一道道都是要跨的槛。真的很明亮可爱，本来红熊猫毛茸茸就很萌，还动不动爆热血日漫星星眼；竹林、诗画、“照妖镜”、宗祠祭祖、道士做法之类也都很有中国神怪故事印记在，整个片就跟小美一样，可爱得古灵精怪。
