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)
我们的生活像极了影片中的夫妻，凌乱琐碎，一地鸡毛，都有一颗放飞的心，跌跌撞撞之后学会苟且
It's my dish,It's my cult,It's my bloody favour.除开台球桌旁那场群戏有些做作虚张声势混乱拖沓，其他方面血浆四射骨肉支离绞肉机器断臂碎膝暴力喷射猎枪飞起爽出星际！戴夫刚刚把碎裂的膝盖骨绑缚好口上说着不痛了不痛了，换个镜头旁边突然兀立站着拉斯一脚跺折反差拉满直接笑醒下铺，戴夫老爸从敬老院一把老骨风风火火赶来笑裂，开着电动车一路吐槽还误认是燃油车。（我肯定是漏看了安妮日记hhhhh）三个悍匪五条性命一出奇历两个表面夫妻一段末路婚姻就此路转峰回。（把所有政治正确都反讽了个遍更上层爽，除草机的电动刀片想起群尸玩过界）
过瘾！剧情再精短一点就更好了。如果女主选择不救丈夫，领着保险奔小康，然后男主闭气脱鞋自救在续集里继续和女主相爱相杀……当然，情绪烘托到这份上了，这结局也不错。
血浆，黑色幽默都有了，但节奏不好……随意差点意思……可惜了题材其实还蛮有意思
私以为 Maggie Gyllenhaal 的导演首秀表现很好啊 her intellectual ambitions and visions really paid off 把费兰特笔下人物的神经质 角色之间那些奇奇怪怪的 dynamics 还有 boiling female rage 展现得非常好 / 三位女主的表演也都很出色 Jessie Buckley 和 Olivia Coleman 眉眼间竟真的很像 穿豹纹白得发光的达妹太美啦 / Paul mescal in short shorts is delicious *chef kiss* / 就连观影时发放的 screener brochure 设计也非常喜欢
以为是个别出心裁的剧情片，结果只是个三流恶趣味搞笑片，里边所有人的智商都在人类平均值以下
三星半，导演的恶趣味弥漫全片，类型之混杂也让我看的一愣一愣的：一开始以为是情侣互害的荒诞喜剧，接下来变成歹徒入室的惊悚悬疑，再变成以命相博的动作片，最后当我以为要以残年老父出现收场变成搞笑亲情剧的时候。。。。北欧人打架真是实诚真就啥玩意都往头上招呼啊。PS：晕血的就别看了。
老爹语录
这片，也是一遍一遍的反转，但却没让人厌烦。。。因为它不是干反不是尬反，是有紧凑合理剧情推进的，当它一翻一翻的干下来，你会发现全程居然无尿点，酣畅了！
8分吧，结尾加一分（剧本打磨的不够好）
老爷子真的加分。
男主：卑鄙，小气，懦弱，蠢，心狠手辣，冷血无情，无用，算计。
血浆爽片，而且还蛮搞笑的，这俩夫妻也是真的抗揍
喜欢电影中男主的真实感：
是的，那个怂的一批，自以为是，性急易怒，小家子气的人，就是我。
超级cut，奈飞和挪威电影的完美结合。剧本好，演技棒。看来风景并不是好莱坞独好。期待奈飞盘活香港电影！
人生如戏，全靠演技。糅合进了多种元素，暴力，血腥，家庭伦理+黑色幽默。娱乐性和可看性都不错。三星半。
黑色幽默血浆喜剧 夫妻的感情危机通过一场杀戮平息 在创作者和观赏者的角度都很有趣 平淡日子里的压力远比突然来的笨贼可怕的多 节奏感很强 拍的很像院线商业片 导演在几场调度中都展示了丰富的镜头语言和功力 相比 结尾倒是中规中矩 全篇无尿点
看小人物时候就觉得够疼了，这个观感简直就是老疼老疼了！从指缝看还跟着叫。一开始是画面也太美了，欧洲冷冽的美。然后是狗血，然后是一波好几折，就是到最后还能🌊几🌊老人那里真就是最好的死法了呢。
生死关头扯对方头发自救啊！反正男主又不会输。
