- Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A film from Buñuel's more commercial filmmaking period, that certainly can't be considered among his most vintage works. Still, The Brute does manage to be a good story about man's vulnerability to the opposite sex, with a protagonist who is as endearing as he is tragic.

Feb 19, 2022 · The Brute was ahead of its time and despite certain questionable decisions on O’Hara’s part, it now looks like a potent opening argument for a major shift in attitudes towards the social and legal power imbalance between the sexes. It also happens to be a well-crafted movie, with an excellent cast.
Jan 5, 2022 · The Brute is often a tough watch, as it doesn’t shy away from the physical and verbal abuse given out by more than one male character in the movie, lingering on beatings with a belt, or slowly moving into a branding iron in the fire that Teddy plans to…well, I’m sure you can work that one out for yourself.
Popular reviews. A somewhat sordid and exploitative film about domestic violence masquerading as public service messaging. It's a decent enough watch but you can just tell they want to convey a sense of concern about battered women while also manipulating the audience with sex and nudity, attempted torture, and thriller elements.
