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)
在2022年4月的上海看这部电影，真的太应景，太心酸了。
适合隔离焦虑，意外惊喜竟然看到agent mulder年轻时的神颜，确实帅的让人想揍他🫢
The Daily Wire 好活 看完正片一定要去看这个 https://youtu.be/jeEZqAeZSAU
评价为啥这么差！明明很搞笑很好看！攀岩那段太逗了。还有最后那个健身镜教练被邀请参加颁奖礼但是自己都不知道为什么哈哈哈哈啊哈哈哈哈哈哈简直笑死人。那个球员是影射的谁？
对影视行业的讽刺和资本嗜血的本质展现很喜欢 里面资本家们都在世外桃源阳光明媚 劳工们昏暗压抑苦逼兮兮的拍摄 很鲜明的对比。还有解构了父亲要在儿子面前树立电影的价值，儿子说 有抖音就行 不需要电影 哈哈哈哈😂
怎么说呢，看着看着，我觉得他们正在拍的大烂片《悬崖怪兽》可能比本片好看。。。
超小成本，也没有紧张刺激，也没有特别烂，但就是剧情不温不火，即使你边干别的事，再回来，还是能接上。
身弱爱强护犊子，心诚翻经钱一沓。
anika太可爱了。。。。我觉得别人都无所谓但是迪特尔和安妮卡真的很出彩，太可爱了救命。。。佩德罗的棕色墨镜看起来好眼熟啊，是他自己的还是这个片拍了太久以至于我都以为片场照是很久之前发的了x
看的好捉急，木门一脚踹不开吗？给懂事的小朋友多一星
疫情之下，一切都荒诞而又真实，都合理而又搞笑，《别抬头》的荒唐+《侏罗纪世界》的花絮。另：bgm不错
小女孩超可爱。一个吸毒母亲感悟过世奶奶期望改过自新的救赎故事。
感觉就像小品一样，一段一段的，有几段还挺搞笑的，电影后期效果做得真好，突然变成拍摄现场的反差让观众有窥破拍摄的秘密的感觉。最重要的是，被封控在家一个多月，看一部这样的电影，看看其他国家的人被关到疯魔到想方设法不顾一切逃跑，也有点感同身受吧！
本来真的很期待看皮皮演喜剧，但成片真是太差劲了我现在整个人养胃状态
调侃，胡闹，戏谑，特殊时期给大家带来欢乐。
题材还算有趣 疫情的原因有很多特殊的情况 但剧本基本上是闹着玩的 没有情节和剧情可言 如果是个八九十分钟的纯喜剧效果应该还会更好一些 不太懂剪辑出接近130分钟的意义在哪里 演员表现已经尽力了 估计片场现找档期有空的全部拉上了贼船
三演员带两孩子，拍成这样不算难看。而且要素多，囚禁、逃生、家庭、温情等等，麻雀虽小五脏俱全。属于小微成本电影里比较成功的。
节奏稀碎，剧情也实在谈不上有创意，铺垫了一整部电影最后的落点竟然在“英雄不会放弃”上，浪费了那么强的制作
构思了个不错的点子但最终没拍好，要是演员们全部用回自己真名并以此为扩展做笑点或许效果会好点？
看着MHA从漫画到番到年货剧场版，套路化的叙事，也是五味杂陈……
