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)

金棕榈和金狮是商量好了软硬兼施一起命题作文么。狗之力 上帝之手 正发生 你选哪个当金狮，就看你是啥性取向了。
#SF film festival# 简单的故事，镜头语言和人物动作让人有很强代入感。为女性力量加一星
很难不想到四月三周两天，听到自然流产女主又活过来了，堕胎画面适合拿去青少年科普

“那是一种只攻击女性的病，让女性变成家庭主妇” 今日恐婚恐育+1
赶巧前脚看了《忍者宝宝》，后脚看了本片。一夜情怀孕和非婚怀孕有区别吗？在一些人眼里有，在一些人眼里没有，恰如意外怀孕后处理方式上的不同和各执一词。性是男女双方的权力，而堕胎的不安和焦虑、苦痛却几乎完全由女性来承担。在这件事上无论男女都必然会进入对女性关注关怀和关爱的视角，这是她们的主场，我们是认真聆听的观众。遗憾的是目前看起来仍然无解。
挺真切，因为又好喜欢女主，仿佛有切身之痛。
3.我能想象在那样一个保守的时代一个女大学生意外怀孕了有多痛苦。男的只要爽一爽，女性要付出这么大的代价。。。
画幅除了时代特征之外对氛围和细节的遮掩也很有表现力，视角始终跟随女主，观众好似她的同学一样参与生活，时长够紧凑节奏够快，事件苦无出路又迫在眉睫，当被设下规条母职大于人的身份之时，怀孕成为了对女性享受sex的惩罚。女主果断的执行力在一层层突破父权对她的围剿，而代价痛楚异常九死一生，中间和后段两场戏如果作为女性视角简直幻痛惊惧出一身冷汗。具有时代意义的是，六十年后的现在，堕胎权在某些地方居然仍属女性需要争取的自身权益。我们应展示鲜血，而不是选择忘记，如片名所示，此事正在发生。
止痛药失效的一天，身心俱入深海。那些声称支持生命的人，大概从未像安妮·埃尔诺这样，困于孤独和绝望，渴望而无法碰触，生命。
8.5/10
无子宫者没有资格去控制女性的子宫，而捍卫堕胎本质上就是对生命权的捍卫。
To be a grail, or to be a human being.
即使很多血腥场面被删掉，还是能感觉到痛苦。
本来以为去年戛纳金棕榈已经给了一部“最疼片”：《钛》，没想到去年威尼斯金狮“含疼量”更高。简直让人忽略了所谓的表演，或者这是在看一部电影，一切都太真实，无比真实的疼。让人更心疼的是，60年过去了，一切都还如片名一样，女性的困境与悲剧仍——正发生。
一氣呵成，很平穩的捕捉女主角意外懷孕卻求助無門的心路歷程。女性非處女即蕩婦的封建守舊，如果懷孕是一種病，與同期看的《我的天才女友》互相對照。
三星半。钟孟宏完全进入了一个诚恳接受现实残酷、内心专注于家人的生命阶段。影片的精神内核和《阳光普照》一脉相承，只是剧本细腻度上参差错落较大。好在情绪所汇聚的力量足够强烈，随着剧情展开，渐入佳境。虽有短板，但整体效果仍可圈可点。贾静雯、王净、陈以文的表演非常出色，尤其是贾静雯，洗尽铅华后的自然感，太值得获得奖项表彰。倒是客串的明星有些过多，且并不是人人都很适合表演。
