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)
可能是我理解能力有限，这电影的好多剧情我都看的一脸懵逼……但是杏奈真的真的太灵了，危险又理性、清冷又诱惑、狠戾又温柔，虽然我不是女峒，但感觉确实是很多人的梦中情T啊！导演很会拍女生
从人设到动机到剧情意外程度都非常不错！文艺氛围点满了，看得很舒服。
画面美到不行是真的，回忆片段的动画风格也好特别，很棒，这是绝对的。
人設鮮明很有特點，男主真是位人間清醒的工具人啊，存在只為讓倆女主找到彼此hhhh
这纠结的青春啊...但那对情侣相性真的好他们是一类人
画风非常nice尤其是回忆录。但是剧情很普通，前期剧情太过于铺垫后期……打败怪兽，怪兽已人类的悲伤为养料emmm。
勉强4星，剧情拖沓，床戏很硬核看得捂脸
很温馨！虽然打斗未免太短了吧！哈哈哈哈！零基础除魔ˊ_>ˋ （但是又挺合理的）感觉日和可能以后会接下奶奶衣钵
前半段：治愈！可爱！画风美美美！
最后睡什么睡，你明明就是喜欢人家！！！
山田杏奈的脸和角色非常适配，她可以以如此主动的姿态介入一对情侣之间，又在迷失之后重新找到真正想去了解的那个人。感情的流动状态永远迷人。
有些粗糙却很温暖的动画，乡村真好啊简简单单晒太阳。
经常看日本的电影的时候都会是一边不断暗想什么鬼什么鬼好奇怪好奇怪，然后一边看的很入迷
剧中的奶奶的角色说的两段话，非常让我感动。
男主性格很内敛，相对不善言辞。以至于后面他老爸拿水泼他，他都得是女主替他打回去。
哈哈哈“岬jiǎ”字不会读还得靠百度🥹挺好的，有治愈的部分有妖怪的部分还有打斗的部分，短短不到俩小时的电影集齐了我喜欢的元素😝周五晚上就是最棒的夜晚！
结尾居然是这样的。“因为是不同的人所以才会喜欢上。“”有那样的一瞬间就够了。”
三星半，这种日剧小清新拍的蛮不错的，虽然估计很多姬们会雀跃，但是看这个电影，真跟倾向无关，而是对心理变化的细微之处的把握蛮不错的，而且准确还动人
却被小温柔的一封信击溃
「打算だったとしても心をひらいてくれてありがとう。」
