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)
竟然把这种题材拍的如此温吞无聊……如果女主死了，凶手淡定离开，那种细思极恐的张力更大，结尾有种为了反转而反转的感觉
剧情本身没有什么特别的点，不过拍得蛮流畅的。记得要重视自己的不适感，当逃则逃。（及格分
很喜欢。主要为故事题材本身和女主的演绎。我对这种真实且自我投入的女性角色一直很有好感。
故事的核心始终没找到属于自己的落脚点，终成平庸寡淡的流水账。
6.5/10 这些年很常见的女性自我认知和反抗男性枷锁的反杀题材，但是反转请讲基本法
能量太足了看得我很edgy，不了解背景故事看起来可梦就觉得很架空吧
比预期要好一些，确实是一部很流水账的电影，尤其让人搞不清电影对塔米·菲、对吉姆·贝克以及PTL的态度，是意在讽刺、意在嘲弄、还是意在褒扬、抑或表达唏嘘，含混不清。宗教内斗、电视布道的乱象、名为施善的敛财与堕落、甚至贝克夫妇的感情问题，都搅在一起，走马观花的掠过，提了又好像没提。电影想讲的很多，实际表达的却很有限，到最后讲的最好的、也是确实有些许打动到我的——感谢卖力的劳模姐希望她能捞到小金人——是塔米·菲的眼睛，是那双眼睛里起起伏伏的一生。
蜘蛛侠2和一个得了黄疸的巫婆满美国的24H唱福音唱出了个女主角提名
现实中女主还东山再起了，电影没有拍出来感觉有点遗憾
怎么说呢加菲很别扭，AIA之后的戏都有点别扭，后劲儿太大了他整个身体形态还没出来。
they nailed it women always take it better it’s not over till it’s over

塔米菲的眼睛不论是成片和寓意都数十倍秒杀斯宾塞了 表演更是没得说 英国皇室那点事演来演去也就那样 远不如宗教社会性丑闻更有发掘的价值和新意了
女导演的一贯特点：注重氛围营造和人物关系描绘，剧情过于简单直白，好看但是没有回味。
真实事件改编的传记片，优秀的服化道，特别是化妆和造型简直直接换脸，正序时间线的故事略显平淡，加菲可能太娃娃脸实在演不出老年感，但劳模姐的换脸演技过于惊艳，值得横扫今年各大颁奖礼~3.5，多的半星给劳模姐的演技~
It has a weird combination of the worst and the best
男人这尼玛气人，结局可以的，就是不懂女主怎么站起来的。
男人这尼玛气人，结局可以的，就是不懂女主怎么站起来的。
在凝视者与被凝视者二者叠加交织的状态游离，通过渲染男性暴力宣扬女性主义，节奏和气氛拿捏得很好，就是结局贼假，女主失血成那狗样还能爬起来抢人头。。
比较平庸。三星全部给劳模姐的表演，她真的值得一座奖杯
