So much average
Admirable film.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Most part of movie is pretty ordinary. But it has its gem which you probably find near the end of movie (so please be patient). And I want to recommend it to lovers of Lynch's films.6/10
Visually, this movie is a landmark in french cinema. One's got to add that it isn't usual to find a movie like this in Luc Besson's productions. But "Exit" is a reality, and sometimes an interesting movie. But the inevitable flaws of a first work arrive by means of the confusing last acts, just before a final plot twist that nearly salvages them. As I said, visuals keep this from descending into the hole of banality, but the movie has too many dialogue and some suddenly appearing characters that we end up not knowing who they are. Anyway, for those who find it a little bit interesting, it requires a second viewing. Se7en and Silence of the Lambs-influenced fare, but some originality saves it.
Everything in this work seems to make the viewer believe he's watching an American indie,particularly,as an user has already pointed out,some kind of "eraserhead".But it was more than 20 years ago and it seems now obsolete. The action of the film,which lasts about 110 min all the same,never takes place outside,which gives the impression of watching bad filmed stage drama.We move from the hero's flat to a shrink's consulting room,via a nightclub(?) to wind up stranded in a bathroom! The screenwriters borrow here there and everywhere:outside "eraserhead",we recognize bits of "fight club" and many a serial killer story.The ending has the de rigueur coup de theatre which is so far-fetched it won't keep you awake the whole week.
It appears to me like a good movie because it is very manipulating. we can't guess the end before the last picture. I think about "Silence of the lambs" and "clean shaven". Actors are perfect and Coureau will surprise you. In one world, a good surprise but a strange surprise.
