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)

这部电影就是个灾难，而做女主的朋友更是灾难中的灾难。
一切都在预料中，我觉得还可以更好一些，不过看的还挺开心
结尾氧气罩有点刻意了，以及Emma在餐厅的那个绿色碎花裙哪能买
烂尾了，铺垫的不够，最后的转折怎么可以那么生硬和刻意
时长太长了，有点乏味，控制在90分钟就差不多。
油田失事救援与自救的故事，其实有历史大背景在，故事完整无功无过。
石油泄漏，地壳运动什么的，拍的挺垃圾的，愣是拍成了半个感情戏，而且为什么总有“为了救主角好人会死”的剧情，三颗星都不想给
浪漫爱情主题之《火车陌客》（不是）交换去搞黄对方EX新恋情以求回心转意之中却爱上了彼此还蛮有创意的～学会了情话u r my slowburn~配乐里有Unforgettable 爵士金曲～发现约会17岁那段太搞笑哈哈哈看到了客串的SNL的Peter
女主演的一直放不开，男主比她演的自然得多……
...
里面所有人婚恋观挺好的，除了结局，但还是会会心一笑
欧洲人不喜欢看电影，还是喜欢歌剧啊。
上：攫取资源后以两个炮弹焚烧了之，逃避责任。下：两人为爱舍身，一个回家鼓掌、一个舔到所有
彩虹配色都铺满了 还是什么都不敢说 而且这剧情Glee里随便拉一集都比这好看
just getting started we are about to go up
女主飞快地走出来了失恋阴影，还遵守了自己搞破坏的承诺，可是男的根本不走心啊/老实讲，在健身房和女主前男友称兄道弟时候，我还以为他是想掰弯对方/男主在脏衣篮里听情侣床上大战看得我脚趾抓地
适合青少年的励志电影。有梦想真的了不起，羡慕有梦想的孩子。
女主挑得挺好 有柔情 坚毅也兼收并蓄. 剧本方面 主线清晰 剧情也偏直线 不曲折不太绕 不太讲究套路 人物也少 以至于成片的篇幅不大 体量也偏小 但反过来说 反倒在一众灾难片里 也显得清新脱俗. 比如上头的明智和果断 比如不引入神怪元素 比如大家都智商在线. 要是能再多些人物刻画就好了
烂尾了，铺垫的不够，最后的转折怎么可以那么生硬和刻意
