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)
就像主角看教父学葬礼一样，态度很好，但不会电影语言———我错了，态度好个屁
网大还要啥自行车，这就是过年了。确实挺好的，有几个地方笑果不错。
其实挺完整的 佳佳是想认真去做点东西 谈不上多好 你不能太高要求它 但是不差。要是网大里随便的小喜剧都是这个标准 那我们拍出来能看的东西会多很多。
挺好的。剧情简单但是完整，有笑点也有感触，还有许久不见的江湖义气。很朴实，很接地气。
挺逗的，四星也够。就轻松不动脑片。二手玫瑰出来笑死我了。……近段时间好像看好多烂片，不知道是不是比的，感觉这个真的比那些所谓大片名角的都好看
三分电影，一分给网大，算是对网大的支持了，崔志佳你也太胖了，跟当年爱笑会议室的崔志佳差太多了，电影虽然还走着小品的套路，但是有一些导演的诚意在里面，算是国内网大中为数不多的好片了，比开心麻花一些电影小品赚票房来的实在。
今天就适合看这种电影。哈哈哈哈哈一乐就完了。
创意加分，剧本真是拉胯了，除了堆段子没有对剧情和人物进行任何有效的编辑。
多给一星，是对佳佳的鼓励。能看出来他在努力认真地学习借鉴模仿。老鹰说得没错，当男主角太胖了哈哈哈。
做喜剧能让人笑出来就行hhh 有些煽情有点冗余，好好再琢磨下剧本，我愿意看爱笑会议室的演员演戏
确实还凑合，笑点还可以，后半段的反转有点硬凹
只能说中规中矩吧，到了后面的剧情延续略显吃力。
要看笑点看看抖音，大致讲了一个不要歧视刑满释放人员的故事
这种衰败工业城市的电影 虽然每次就觉得拍的不到位 但也能感觉到 也许再过一些年就会有人拍出更好的
害挺好的，适合下饭……迷影细节不少，刀爷演技真棒。
新人导演，看得出佳佳是很有想法的，投入的感情很足。虽然视听有瑕疵，但第一次拍还是很棒的，故事很温馨，切入的视角也有社会责任
啥玩意都带上“东北”，真能代表辽吉黑咋滴？
挺有幽默感和烟火气息的，光不尬这一点就好过很多国产院线喜剧片了，演员们其貌不扬但都有气场
笑点密集。后半段反转太生硬了，有bug。三星半
还不错啊，有喜有悲，虽然剧情设计反转在情理之内简单但是好玩啊，老爷子有点帅是怎么回事
