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)
但是，哪怕人物的完整让我收回其他指控，瀑布意象的引入真是有够矫情的。
生活洪流中的一夜长大，结局还是忍不住揪了把心/导演你是魏如萱歌迷吗？/思维河化之小静好像fxf
无功无过到除了「贾静雯演得真好啊！」之外想不出别的评论。（有病就要治？
前段有点平淡，往后倒是渐入佳境。母女俩相依为命的生活挺好的，母亲的演技真心不错。
低于预期啊，代入感不足，和阳光普照比差点意思
其实《瀑布》的结构跟《阳光普照》非常相似，瀑布只是一种意象，电影中根本没有出现瀑布，但口罩是瀑布、脚手架的幕布是瀑布、房门也是瀑布。借而讲述之后的人，母女关系的缓和，人际关系的缓解，整个故事也非常的柔软，归根究底，人还是要跟外界多接触多交流，走出悲伤，走向拥抱。
哥谭的雨就没有停过，就算谜语人不把海岸炸了这座城市也会被淹吧
贾静雯演技很棒，配乐很好。
疫情确实把隔阂放大了，把问题
和《七宗罪》比较
我要告别湾湾电影 - 贾静雯女神微表情很细腻 一个恍惚无助的病人 结局也松了口气 - 但是还是觉得电影做作..
疫情blue，我感觉我也快熬不住了555555
天水围的日与夜，差不多吧，比那个更尖锐一点，还有三部表现母女的，一个是惠英红那个，另一个是大陆的独立电影，名字忘了，还有一部春潮，相比这三部，本片还不够尖锐，但是也看的人津津有味，在某些节奏上，和蔡明亮那个郊游有那么一点相似，挺触动灵魂的感觉，不错。
的确有些地方稍微有点尬啊 整体流畅度不如美国女孩 但是想要表达的其实也不尽相同 贾静雯是演的真好
大楼口罩
墙上黑泽明的《电车狂》海报，维修外墙的蓝色幕布，钻进电视墙缝隙里的蛇，还有一泻而下让女儿险些丧命的洪流。——手法和隐喻还蛮高级的，贾静雯演技真的OK。
色彩、质感、氛围极好，故事头重脚轻，精彩场面不多，整体太冗长，不好打分，宁愿花三个小时让罗伯特·帕丁森 凹造型，也不好好把谜语人的形象多丰满一些，把编剧拖出来打五十大板吧。从诺兰接手的蝙蝠侠三部曲，到前两年的《小丑》，再到现在的《新蝙蝠侠》，DC的电影越来越像末法时代的暗黑寓言了，穷街陋巷，一派萧条，被侮辱和被损害的人觉醒起来，却被塑造成无恶不作的反派，等着有闲阶级的反省救赎、良心发现，是不是也太那个一厢情愿了呀……
虽然阳光普照也并不是觉得有多好看，但比较之下，是阳光普照比瀑布要好一些。
时效性的故事挺有意思 疫情的降临（fall）给大多数人的物质世界带来了降级 也冲刷了每个人的精神与心灵
下的英文配音，有点意外，还是喜欢台湾腔。主题明显，情节转折太生硬，摄影满分。生活就是洪水猛兽。
