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)
总的来说算是不错的小结构动作爽片，设定很好，节奏不拖沓，全程无尿点，就是拍摄上还是差了点意思。
2.5
打不死的老家伙，喋喋不休的各种人，小偷小摸的好人和变态话痨杀手，所以是一部西部片，最后的燃烧镜头都是PS的，好假。
为什么是癌症啊（恼）整个画面挺美的，很加分
有部分尚可的动作，节奏，画面质感，镜头语言等，前半部分铺垫稍长，且对后半部分的塑造作用有限，总体归于尚可一看。
自杀式的留白就更显得前面的小情小趣，就…蛤？
对于我这样的一个非专业观影人士，我能给予的评价就是还不错，不大一样的叙事方式。墨西哥海边美景赏心悦目，男主看似扑克脸的表演挺让我觉得扑朔迷离的。
如果把刻意掩藏的信息前置，整部片都不成立了，把电影创作核心依赖于关键信息的隐藏，其唯一目的只是操纵不知情的观众心理，和任何表达都毫无关系。
以为结局会有反转，天怒可却看不出来谁才是“天”
：就凭作家那又瘦又老还重度罗圈腿的小身板，偷偷下毒蘑菇，挑拨罪犯杀医生还有一点儿可信度，可不靠帮凶大白天谋害健壮救生员已很难，再把女主徒手扔下楼？太低估癫狂状态的女人爆表战斗力了！
用镜头掩盖尴尬的对话，照太阳让观众提神，加上这迷的结尾，不知道要表达什么
已婚男人出轨失败，错的都是小三，他是白莲花
开头用镜和色彩都很吸引人，剧情弱爆，格局小了 2022年1月3日 rs pro2
这是一部白光绚眼的片子。大片的视觉过暴让人联想到病房和视网膜。
这算是阿根廷版的电影版天道吧。。哈哈哈。。这都是命。。哈哈哈。。
丧到无责任无底线也是一种生活，整个电影就像尼尔看的海，约的会，吃的饭喝的酒晒的太阳，无所谓
大女主剧，女主当然帅，但两个老猛男更帅，噼里啪啦一通打还是蛮精彩的，不过最后的反转似乎有点多余。
知道自己癌症后期，选择远离日常世俗，听从内心、放肆在异国海滩无目的浪费最后的时光。只是无意害来签字的妹妹被绑匪盯上，送了命。这个设置有些狗血，如果只是律师带文件来签字，放他自由呆着岂不更好。后来外甥姐弟来的更是莫名，如果要表现愤怒，可以在来接母亲尸体时，而不是事过境迁。搞得尼可像个皇帝，所有人都必须来觐见解决事情
#TIFF 2021# SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS。前入围2021威尼斯主竞赛。可能是被场刊倒数第一打了预防针，自己看完反而觉得没那么雷……跟欧容的《时光驻留》来比，离奇（而不是奇情）和豪门可能算是最大的槽点吧。米歇尔·弗朗哥操纵观众真是有一手，控制信息也挺好，但是你故事得编圆不是……编不圆或者故意不写那不叫开放性叙事……
就是一个很离奇的故事，到最后也不太明白想要表达什么。关于颓废关于死亡，也许都和日落一般终将会归于平静。那就在迫近之日到来之前，了却完人生所有的遗憾，然后在沙滩上在水中，安稳的等待着末日的到来，结束自己这草草一生。
