Title: BRUTAL
Review: This movie is an absorbing if skewed melodrama that takes a vicious, if expected turn in its final brutal moments. The whole movie has a supremely sad, repressed feeling and look, though Diane Keaton is the perfect choice to bring a zing and zest to the lead role. The double life she leads seems more than believable today, and has the sting of authenticity as it unravels horrifically. This film is nearly impossible to view more than once -- the finale is that difficult to stomach. Watch for edgy newcomers Richard Gere and Tom Berenger; Tuesday Weld and Richard Kiley are excellent in their more melodramatic, single-shaded roles. The disco classic DON'T LEAVE ME THIS WAY will never again sound playfully seductive to you again.
