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)
不評價演技也不評價電影傳記節奏編排~~於我這種從小看港片聽港樂長大的人來說，藉著一些氛圍一些場景甚至一些港人演員的面孔和表情，我都可以自行腦補到位~~~這部電影至少香港精神的表達是準確的~~~前輩無條件提攜後輩，演藝圈大家庭氛圍式的萬眾一心~~ 8090年代的香港黃金時代~~~ 樂觀積極多元開放而寬容~~天才白痴夢~~那時候人人都有一種『以前如此，以後就必然如此嗎？』的勇敢反問的精神。每個人的臉上純真而堅定。
叙事有些浮于表面，但我们来看的是梅艳芳，来怀念的是那个时代，来追忆的是那个群星璀璨的香港。
鼓起勇气承受，我想人总要向着希望走。
大明星爱上我之我们只是朋友 全是俗套但没完全落入俗套 简单温情轻喜剧 不算讨厌的政治正确
这部电影最大的成就，就是让人们再次回忆起这位优秀的女士梅艳芳和她此生最亲密的哥哥张国荣。当然，还有那个闪耀的香港黄金时代。
剧情是真的老套，也就开头能稍微满足一下我老男人的代入感。另，女主还挺好看的
没想到泪点的地方还挺多的，芳华绝代live那场的片段出来的时候一瞬间就哭了
电影挺克制，选取了梅艳芳生平一些片段来创作，梅姐一生这么精彩，再厉害的大师怕不能拍出个中精彩，若能如实呈现其中一二就很不错了。对于梅艳芳的感情世界，我觉得远不止这些，她的成就与精神更是难以影像化，她是一种独一无二的香港精神。最后电影与当年影像交叠变化，虚实之间，bgm《夕阳之歌》响起，配上她一袭婚纱，破防了
俗套的剧情，但拍得很好，很温情。最近好像跟valet杠上了，看的欢迎光临也是这样。好在结尾没有让女明星和泊车员在一起，这太不符合现实了！两个女人一起对抗渣男的片段还是很爽的，永远不要相信犯错的男人。一次等于无数次。
3.梅姐那么多应景的好歌不放，从头到尾基本都在放心债？
即便故事节奏不够感染人、演员锐气与演技有所不足，但是在如此作品中，仍能感受来自香港女儿梅艳芳的铮铮傲气并浓厚义气。她的人格魅力让属于她的时代、诞生她的香港，都显得熠熠生辉。
一看就知道是翻拍片，但里面的墨西哥元素很细节，好喜欢这个老妈妈，坚强又热爱生活。

直接看的导剪版剧集，感觉还凑合，就是节奏过慢，喜欢梅姐的话可以试试～
“当她去爱时，她会全力以赴，当她拥抱时，她会把你抱得踹不过气，当她笑时，地面都在颤抖。”葬礼段过于催泪，很喜欢喜剧表达形式，拉美裔的自我认同。
这故事情节熟悉吗？很熟悉 但看着俗吗？竟然一点都不俗 本以为只是小妞喜剧 却没想到能对少数族裔的社会境遇有较深的探讨 结尾没有硬凑男女主cp、昔日情敌能联手撕渣男这两处情节设计大大的好评 演员老奶奶的去世也让葬礼戏、让这段语言不通的黄昏恋更加动人
3.5挺老套的剧情，但是并没有拍的很俗套，关系衔接的很自然 ，还不错
题材优势就是一边骂导演一边哭 Louise和古sir加一颗星
非常亚美利加
1.渣男富商面对情人和老婆的能够左右逢源，求生智慧拉满，却记不得前一天掌掴过的男主，服务人员在有钱人眼里都是透明的。
