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.
最喜欢小兔子和萤火虫的两章~（不是别的不好只是个人喜好）片子很用心，大人小朋友都适合看，多多鼓励( ´▽` )ﾉ
作为国内难得一见的绘本漫画作品，虽然定位是儿童教育片，但其中的寓意和主题不止那么简单，七个小故事，包含了空巢老人的生活，农村务工儿童的生活，地震后灾后重新儿童心理建设等话题。相信每个人都能找到自己喜欢的那部。还是蛮喜欢这部电影的。
形式上是相当不错的，但是可能受限于篇幅的原因，有些想要深入一点的题材最后还是浮于表面，所以我最喜欢的反而是没什么野心的糖水老伯那part。横店with我自己
外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅：童年的思念与珍惜；
几个简单的故事，简单的画风，勾起不简单的回忆、感动！让人感动的电影就是好电影！
动画片非常棒，可是我们已经没有输出优秀动画片的媒介了
七个感动的小故事，是个难得的中国动画绘本向电影，我从第一个小兔子的故事就开始泪目（我爱妈妈！！），萤火虫篇章十分温暖，还有第三个小火车篇熟悉的乡音，把腿喻作小火车的暗喻真的太好了，哼哈二将是定格动画吧，做过定格动画的都觉得太了不起了！糖水铺的广州话广普也很亲切。外婆的故事也是潸然泪下，一切竟不在言中…最后一个故事也非常真实接地气，看的就是身边人的故事。希望中国动画越来越好！
适合带小孩去看
分为七章独立的故事，由单独的青年导演指导，故事性稍弱 前几个故事过于低幼，不过画风治愈 十分温馨，各具地域特色。
到影院坐下来看这部安静而幽深的电影
《翼娃子的星期天》
小火车那篇，开头小火车摇晃的时候，有一个镜头给到了家里的生活用品。那在暗指四川地震。在片尾最后“有人吗？下面有人吗”跟开头呼应～真的很好的短片
超出预期的观影体验，最喜欢的就是影片中的真实感，虽然是动画电影，但是《向着明亮那方》带给我的感受却远远超过了“动画”的含义。在一种更广泛的层面上给我来了个“会心一击”。以后谁再说中国没有好动画，我就把这个片子甩他脸上。
虽然有的故事有些“个人”。但是看到不同画风不同地域的方言就觉得太棒了。
小时候课本里的治愈画风，真正的人间烟火气！支持国风！
节前的小温暖，适合带小朋友和家人一起看。都能看到自己的记忆。
因为看过刘毛宁导演的上一部作品，特别喜欢所以慕名而来，这一部虽然依旧有所感触，但没有上一部那么爱，可能是个人经历原因共情的部分不同吧。另外其他作品也都各有各的可爱之处，可惜又有家长不做功课带了吵闹的小孩去，自己也不以身作则，影响了观影体验
年纪大了真的看不得这种片子了5555
七个小故事串联的绘本电影～作者一定是内心柔软温暖的吧、不然怎么可以从细微的生活情节中引起共鸣
几个章节水平参差不齐，前面半部分简直灾难，粗制滥造的半成品，没有那制作水准就不要立意搞得复杂，小孩子也看不懂吧，后半部分简单生活化反而很不错
