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)
不知道除了制造噪音，还有什么方式能让那些装聋作哑的人，去听听身边的哭声，印度尚在斗争，我们不能输啊
女主身世是值得同情的，采取劫持儿童的行为是不妥的。
层层递进+反转
故事本身的底太简单了，没法对观众造成冲击。女主一开始就告诉了警察去查两个强奸犯，到故事结尾警察都没找到这两个人，也没有相关资料，对于女主，警察一开始就查女主的前史，但也没有能查出个四五六，种种bug难以称之为佳作！
媒体家人家长警察几个身份并没有从不同角度起到任何作用 无聊
介于3-4星之间，桑德拉·布鲁克已经很努力了
能铺垫80分钟还不知道到底要干嘛的谜面就像是先看了一集明星大侦探，还好女总理的一句“Emotions can be assets”和对性别刻板印象的反击总算让人觉得来了点劲。而那个关于强奸的谜底则在母亲的一句反问中完全揭晓，后面的紧张甚至和总理面谈的高潮也变成了可预见的补充。对印度社会问题和女性困境的直击，以及对女警察、女总理、女主播和母亲等女性角色的着力没能挽回叙事节奏的失衡。
看得很难受，迫不得已用极端方法解决极端问题
但整部电影拍的画面太暗了，印度人又长得黑黢黢的，2小时的观影时间看下来很费眼睛。
裹脚布剧情。强行等等等。。。不值得高分。下次看评分要多点人才行。。
对比前阵子那部IMDB 9.5分的《杰伊比姆》，同样都是指向印度社会的顽疾，这两部电影表达的主张其实都太过激进，相当的不靠谱。编故事拍电影，让劳苦大众嗨一下还可以，对推动社会实际的进步全无用处，还落个煽动的嫌疑。在这方面，还是应该多跟韩国电影人学：只摆事实就好了，掰开揉碎了让观众看到血淋淋的现实，不需要把主张也端出来。
本片被评论区诟病一些点，恰恰是我最喜欢的：不是每部电影都得剖析所谓人性的复杂，展现朴素的是非观不可以吗？对于女性来说，我们需要最直观的正义。
桑德拉布洛克的演技哀伤 沉稳 克制 是高级的
故事并没有心意，导演也用尽套路，只是，一个敢直面自己社会问题的国家，是值得尊重的，电影三颗星，加两颗星，是给希望！
印度也开始像韩国人那样编排国家元首了。这个剧本虽然胆子很大，但故事完成度还可以，女主也相对耐看。
Sandra上手挑战更为严肃与不“讨喜”的角色，精神值得赞扬- -只可惜整个故事被锐化成了一个为了大飙戏特意精心搭建的「演技桥段」大集合，所有角色好像在等待一声令下，就让嘶吼与痛哭迅速就位（Viola忍了又忍，表示老娘这次不约）。它关于如何勇敢，如何继续下去；如何守护，又如何救赎；Ruth的遭遇和心路历程固然感动，但落点却很八点档。许多角色（比如Blake、Emily）都没有得到太多有效的使用，所以让故事变得更加形单影只。Nora在《系统破坏者》即使也有“呈现过度”的分歧，但却完美地捕捉和写实一个具体议题；这次选择的改编材料，不仅将优势完全抛离，还加重了那种情绪展示的拙劣；真的各方面可惜了。
毫无逻辑，只讲氛围。ps这女主不就是陈凯琳印度分琳吗！
印度电影质感还是不错！其实一开始就猜到了，女主只是借孩子让妇女qj案受到关注。电影结局很美好，现实真的改变了吗？
死刑就能遏制强奸吗？从法律的角度讲，未必，但是强奸这事必须得到重视，女性的地位和权益需要提升和保护，虚构的故事，直戳残酷的现实！
Since you've started watching this film,as per statistics,8 women have raped in our country.
