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)
三十而已的二搭加上演员请就位的打包，日常生活就像白水一样，拍的太电视剧化了，以及——故事没有任何悬念。
被我姐拖来电影院当电灯泡……如坐针毡如履薄冰如芒在背……一看名字就知道是狗血的片……度日如年……时间为什么这么漫长…………啊啊啊啊啊啊啊……
最后我也在想，如果两人还在彼此念念不忘，那还是走在一起吧，毕竟如果真的是不对的人，那肯定是没心思怀念过去的，哪怕过去再好，也不会翻开回忆，翻篇才是当下最应该做的。谁愿意停留在记忆中止步不前呢。

2/21/2022 两个人很配 但是不是很好看
咱们俩根本就不可能分手。
嗯，女主的抓狂点略有共鸣，不过安全感还是自己给自己吧，
一般不喜欢看纯粹的恋爱片，因为喜欢毛晓彤，看到院线新片里有这部电影才看的，很一般
剧情太狗血，简单，现实更多的是利益，不要拿狗🐶惹气。
2021.12.31 这居然是我跨年片里最想看的一部 毕竟是跨年场唯一的爱情片 但今年没了一起看跨年场的人..前三年(18-20)我还每年都有人一起跨年的..没想到最后一天还要被一部烂片恶心到啊 首先这对情侣绝对我见过最没cp感的一对 女主也是真的难看 还不如她旁边的朋友呢 这就是纯粹为了跨年拍的电影 片中三次跨年(18 19 21) 经典发生在北京 真就所有爱情故事都发生在北京是吧！所有中国年轻人都去北京奋斗了是吧 我对杨玏的印象还是匆匆那年 后面这么多年他好像都没什么作品了 这部片居然感觉他跟匆匆那年时一模一样 但还是那么油。。我还以为你要谈好几年呢 好家伙 就一年 还以年为单位的恋爱？你确定今天广东下雪了 你还能预见未来？经典“你知道我想要的生活吗”“我要的是安全感”这个还没用烂？
狗是他要养的，北海道也是他说要去的，结果所有的一切都是她去承受
好PPT的电影啊，上映之前的宣传短视频都感觉挺不错的，没想到正片是短视频的拼凑，有点失望
电影就是电影 失去了哪里能用失物招领找回呢，不过歌很好听～
人，还是要先治愈自己。
看到最后的情节，真的有点感触。很不认真的看这部，又专门看了一遍结尾20分钟。
和花束般的恋爱比，差在哪了呢
情节俗得很丝滑。能不能给他俩安排个好剧本啊。毛晓彤真好看，脸真小，几乎是素颜演出了。还有杨玏请把卫衣+西服焊死在身上吧哈哈哈
22年3月9日，能同甘不能共苦，刚好最初遇上共苦期，遂崩；多年后苦尽甘来，复合也是可以的。原来男主是杨立新的儿子
