Michael Hanake meets the Blair Witch Project in Kim Gok's Exhausted, a vicious kick in the pants to everyone in the audience, all in the name of "style." A man meets a mute woman, and as any reasonable person would do in such a situation, makes her his prostitute. But the pimping is the least of our problems. As we get exhausted by the grainy faux-16mm camerawork, the film gets increasingly deranged. The closest thing we get to a sympathetic character is the pimp, simply because he's got too much self-respect to fuck a mute whore. Everyone else is either a gory mess, or a gory mess in disguise. Even the prostitute, which even a thug like Lars von Trier would make likeable, comes off as a delirious scary woman whose shrieks strike like blows to the jugular.
Kim Gok has seemingly abandoned the Marxist critiques of his short films, going instead for mindless brutality which culminates in an endless bloody freak-show involving, among other things, a pair of scissors going where pairs of scissors should not go. In the middle of the bloodbath, we get an extended long take of the beaten prostitute's near-dead face, but it does not elicit sympathy or pity. In fact, images of the victim only make us shy away in shock. (Indeed, the extended sequence led to continuous walk-outs during the Pusan screening.) The long take invites us to stare, but it assumes we're as sadistic as the victimizer (and the film) is. Meanwhile the sound-effects (mostly a rumbling bassline that shakes the theater) pulsates with pure wickedness. With Hanake, shock creates reflection, which asks that we be critical. Here, we only want to escape. I suppose Exhausted has some virtues; the shots of drilling machines and factories provide a mesmerizing phallic backdrop to the pimp and prostitute's pursuits. But everything else hurts too much. At least Kim Ki-duk lets us breathe. Exhausted makes Bad Guy look like Lady and the Tramp. (asiaarts.ucla.edu)
故事完整叙事清晰，意料之中又意料之外，好电影
本身电影是有瑕疵的，但不妨碍正义的力量。在印度，每16分钟就有一个女性被强奸😭！可悲的是，强奸犯没有重罚，印度女人没有任何依靠的保护。一个人沉默，一群人沉默，每一次的装聋作哑，带了更多无止境的伤害。
只有桑婆的演技很棒，剧本有些潦草，每一步都在预知范围，结局收尾仓促
是翻拍其他国家的电影，还是其他国家翻拍过这部电影？似曾相识啊
印度类型片，女性议题牛逼，希望有人效仿并祝成功！
想明白这一点后，女教师的行为就非常合理了。
电影分享会推荐的2022印度新片，可与《摔跤》和《厕所》媲美。只要敢于直面尖锐的、敏感的社会问题，敢于揭露社会的黑暗面，这个民族就会逐渐好起来，这方面，印度和韩国都还是可以的。
一己之力推动立法，girls help girls
印度电影里较为常见的题材，以暴制暴的核心！
作为基于三集英剧而改编的电影，我很喜欢本片对情节的取舍和节奏。Sandy实在太棒了！！女导演也是加分项！！
多让人肃然起敬！
2个小时 八名女性被强奸 骇人听闻的高频率
现实了？
7.8 其实前半段真的和误杀2一样 当第一个孩子倒下时 我就猜到女主绝不会杀他 只是走向和误杀2的区别在于 女主为了一个大义帮助全印度强奸的女性获取他们的权益 更为值得人们推崇 以及她所cue到的每个人包括警察都应该对她今天的行为负责。唯一吐槽的点就是 该剧还是太过理想化 现实中持枪警察和总统进屋 绝不会还有后续一起直播谈判的可能
厉害，印度电影已经达到这个高度了嘛。我是说尺度上探到达的高度。
反转都留在最后了，清晰简单的故事，结合印度国情来看挺有现实意义。男警察的枪有点欧亨利的味儿了。

又是一部没有歌舞的印度片，非常有国际范。这是连续两天看的第二部，第一部是《杰伊毕姆》，风格不同的是，本片是讲印度富人，没有一个穷人，但同样是社会问题，这次是关于强奸，尤其是电影结束时出现的字幕“在观看这部电影时，有8名妇女被强奸”。剧情其实不复杂，但编剧手法相当醇熟，一点一点地释放信息、推进节奏，认真看，所有前期预设的疑点最终都有答案。
是努力使非洲发生的罪恶能够像在欧洲那样得到制止，还是使欧洲发生的罪恶也像在非洲那样得到姑息？类似于此，是要以绑架案才能搏得强奸案的关注吗？以及所有人保护的孩童，会不会某一天也变成强奸犯？我们有太多为什么与因为来促成动机，但却无法评判对错
