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)
故事有点悬浮，但前后美感很好，有些匠气的鸡汤。某些角色或者动机或者前后妆容都有提升的空间。
前两天看的，有点无厘头，但还是看得蛮开心的，就是看完好想再去看一遍一吻定情哦
三星全给永野芽郁的泣き顔
拍的很童话，现实会有这么美好吗？会对毫无血缘关系的子女这么倾尽爱意吗？感觉不太可能。（十元还是好美，永野芽郁太可爱了好乖）
前半搞不清想说啥的，悬疑感，奇幻，后半催泪很猛的，鼓励人有美好的希望的，可是看完细品，什么都没有讲，强行催泪。
亲情类的影片基本都是在我泪点上蹦迪这部也不意外，但三个老公人设过于理想化，现实生活中哪来这么好的人。而且最后女主婚礼那段好尬啊，片尾女主姓氏不断变化知道监督想传达什么，但总有点奇怪靠姓氏不断变化在表达爱的接力棒传递么？那女主自我呢，当然好像跟本人要表达的没什么关系。
「卿何如我？」「我與我周旋久，寧作我。」如果被社會和人際所接納的，完全是另一個我的話，對生存意義的倫理拷問就變得尖銳棘手，那我還要「寧作我」，還是索性讓渡所有意味著「意義」的社會身分屬性？如果拼盡全力換來的也不過是一個根本不接納自我的環境，會不會就陷在環島逆行道上永遠無法動彈？PS：醫生的英式口音真的好討打⋯⋯
电影赢在颜值服装和滤镜，输在剧情没有逻辑，离谱又刻意没有代入感
虽然最后也忍不住感动哭了，但还是无法认同日本电影的逻辑，这都叫什么事儿啊，小姑娘哭戏还是很漂亮，但没有精致感，无聊看看吧，别走心
这剧情虽然有点离谱但还是温暖啊
但我还真的蛮喜欢这种讲故事的手法的🥹 喜欢めい555
剧情实在太奇怪了，我能明白是想展现哪怕没有血缘关系但优子的“爸爸妈妈”们对她都有非常纯粹的爱。但是剧情实在过于童话，完全感受不到真实感。虽说妈妈是石原里美找到任何一个男朋友都不奇怪，但对带来的孩子都能这么好，还有父亲就因为一面之词所以就放弃了自己的亲身女儿这一点让我觉得非常不能接受。但咩酱实在是太美丽了，里面那种时常笑中带泪的样子太适合她了。
像看了一集《黑镜》。概念还行，但撑不起一部电影的时长。@Sundance2022
三星全给永野芽郁的泣き顔
真的是很无聊空泛的剧情 而且女主的人生就是一个接力棒在男人之间传来传去吗？以及十元为了满足女儿的梦想不是去努力赚钱而是找一个有钱的老公？三观太不正了吧 颜值挽回一星
如果不是咩酱和十元太美我真不知道怎么看下来的…
女主像个物品一样被传递。后妈的爱不能认同！
片子立意独特，但表现的却单调乏味，对人物内心逻辑，周边关系逻辑交待的不够。
导演借用隐喻，让充满矛盾的“我”内心相互搏杀。最终用周边人认可的“新我”灭杀了自我认可的“本我”。但是这个“新我”在杀死“本我”后，迷失在人生的十字路口，不知所措。
