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)
最令人觉得恐怖的是，要不是警长良心发现，主动把案件真相交出来，这件事很可能就被掩盖过去了
看得后背发凉，一个不容忽视、快速成长的国家。
除了种姓和出身，研究生导师的权力太大，与学生不平衡的关系也是蛮重要的点
确实敢拍 我们所有能看到的消息都是想让我们看到的
zz的武器是情感，要民众的情感。警长最后也担心孩子会报复才反戈一击的。电影长是长了点，但一定还是要看原本。悬疑的设定很好。
任何国家任何地方都有不公的事，有的地方能说，有的地方不能说
挺有意思的，讲了很多印度🇮🇳社会问题，反转也蛮精彩的。近来看的最有意思的电影。
分给题材，叙事和节奏太乱了。160多分钟电影太冗长，前面一个小时太慢了，铺垫过长了，要素过多，一个都没讲明白。只能说印度电影都比我们敢拍。
看完心情挺复杂的，一方面是因为电影主题，女性➕人性➕政治，另一方面是又挺不理解的，很多编剧痕迹让人不能沉浸其中。
导演水平太差没想法，不过脑子的直白镜头比比皆是。部分戏声音设计奇怪，任务说话像配音，画面平静配乐狂起带情绪，人物都还不认识音乐在响能有个毛的共鸣啊！？还是一股印度神剧风范。
无法不推荐。如果不是这个起步的评分，很可能因为这一句话的剧情简介错过。
印度电影标准反转，略拖沓,庭审部分有些降智，差点看不下去。结尾些许潦草
前半部分有点无聊，后半部分反转很惊喜，政治统治者利用媒体，法律来控制人民的头脑，媒体报道的真相并不一定是真相，连法律都能为之所用。庆幸的是有人敢站出来，敢拍出来，令人敬佩。
好电影，探讨的东西有点多，但又能做到不紊乱，很不容易。这种电影能过审，上映，就是胜利。
印度悬疑群像也做得这么精彩了，反转反转反转，我作为观众有几分像小丑。当然留下的几处疑点还是被我精准捕捉到了。
算是好看，但好人坏人极端脸谱化，也是有点小儿科的。没有了舞，但还是不少歌，看来歌或舞，还是宝莱坞标配。
开头本来以为是一个俗套的故事，直到后面的反转，真的太震撼了！
电影给了社会重重的抨击，最后的反转也是很精彩，不过如此长的电影，中间的铺垫细节（虽然每个都很残忍）却有点像蜻蜓点水了。不是在说这些不应该批判，只是做为电影个人感觉可能太泛
律师是阐述的是不是就是真相 他哪有时间做那么多功课
