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)
如果实在没有想看的又莫名出奇地想看电影来打发时间的话，这部电影是个不错选择，很轻松，不需要动脑子，就跟着剧情推进就好。整部电影除了透着合家欢的喜剧氛围，就只有一点能表达出来，即资本家是万恶的根源。
标准的"世界拥有反叛，但生活充满爱"的电影。
这个克里弗变大的脑洞。
合家欢电影。有些衔接不够自然。剧本再好好打磨就好了。
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈就为了等我们小啤的Room For you
还是很搞笑的。
两星都给可爱的红毛拉布，太可爱了。剩下的故事套路无新意，萌宠惹祸、慰寄主人公心灵、勇于发现自我、最终打败低智商坏人，最后靠宠物获得一份工作，看起来就是彼得兔之类题材的翻版。并且顺势添加了刻板印象中的华人角色。全员演技刻意到烂的不行。我看影片一直再想一个问题，这么巨大的拉布拉多日常拉屎怎么清理的事情为什么不交待一下？而且真的是一天拉两次啊。
比预期好，很流畅的商业片节奏，甩了很多谜题感觉高级，其实啥也没解释。药不然放这，真的彻底不行。
修狗很可爱，但这故事都吸引不了我读小学的妹妹
每一步都很妙，但是加在一起就显得莫名其妙。值得赞扬的是，没有安排女主角跟别人的感情戏，不然真的给一星。
合家欢电影。有些衔接不够自然。剧本再好好打磨就好了。
及格水平的合家欢电影，当然这样的电影大团圆结局也是标配，郁闷时不妨看一看
儿童向//so cute～ puppy heals～
整个电影从台词到情节到演技极其尴尬……难以直视……但是狗确实很可爱。狗——唯一亮点
出其不意大红狗，惹乱有一套。亲近可人大家伙，助人为乐好帮手。
简单，童年受众，刻板剧本，狗狗还是可爱的，仅此而已，无心观影也不会去看第二遍的片子。
我为什么在看这种低智片？怎么存到我网盘的😂 好讨厌这个舅舅
看到有评论说 瑕不掩瑜，这明明是 瑜不掩瑕。送四句话：故弄玄虚 不可理喻 目无法纪 莫名其妙。
成人会无聊，特别低龄向，但是不知道小孩子会不会觉得好看
演员阵容看起来好像可以，也算是有名的ip，拍成这个样子，每个人都在不同的片子里，也挺神奇的。虽然你大爷还是你大爷，但装瞎的大爷好眼熟，硬汉小伙看起来一表人才，说话就破功，蔫坏儿和大红袄，how old are you
