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)
好喜欢坚定 真诚 且善良的女孩子
特别特别喜欢，让人想到《蓝色大门》。在今天看起来仍然尖锐的、存在各种偏见的，以及自认为的“试图理解”造成适得其反的种种议题，套在青春的逻辑里就如此顺理成章且清晰地被讲述出来了，同时也完全没有回避和弱化其中残酷的部分。山田杏奈至今为止最适合也是演得最好的角色。
腐女喜欢满世界的男人都是BL，除了他自己喜欢的不是……
★★★☆ 表彰大會後，學弟來和安藤道歉，並且坦白自己也是同志，看到這兒時，忍不住讓我想起我在大學畢業晚會上台領獎時出櫃，晚會結束後，一個學生會的學妹特意找來給了我一個擁抱，擁抱時她輕聲在我耳邊說“我也是”，我用手輕輕拍了拍她的背。輕小說改編，始終對於現實的觸及有限，不過也編織了一個美好的謊言，那一切都發生在另一個無人會懷抱惡意的星球。
女主妹子演技太好了 演讲戏看得我哇哇大哭
又是腐女和gay的套路……拍出了神尾的颜值巅峰
她喜欢的是BL以及山藤，他喜欢的是男人以及三浦 ，我喜欢的是所有这些可爱的人 。女主实在太可爱且勇敢，男二的西瓜树永远都会在，爱哭鬼看得眼泪落下来T^T
比起剧版就少了很多东西，只是专注在这个coming out story上，落俗了。不由想起《盛夏未来》里那个吻，绝！
徐贤穿着无袖紧身皮衣，眼睛随着镜头转的那里，我以为她要开始跳The boys呢。
看错误题材了...以为是个标准套路故事...结果是腐女把弯男掰直的故事...
还是觉得不太得劲。最能表达主题的两场，一是女生领奖后抢过麦克风的宣言，一是男生躺在病床上对母亲的哭诉。都是用长段的台词来自陈自我剖析，很不爽这样的表达。
好可爱的一部电影啊！这世界上总要有摩擦力才会向前进吧，所以世界不应该简单的界定为非黑即白，存在即合理。
心是暖暖的
披着韩剧外皮的sm科普片，在亚洲范围内这种尝试已经挺值得鼓励了，觉得如果中国来拍杨洋倒是挺合适的，硬邦邦的假正经形象。但是吧，俊男美女已经让人很知足了
该有多好
篇幅原因比连多要明快太多了，其实还有比较深入的内容也就被舍弃乐……熟人也太多www。节奏上不差细节好评，细腻度略逊色。
如果这个世界没有摩擦，那我们也就不会前进了。
“现在漫画，电视剧里常出现一些同性恋的设定，所以我觉得我能够理解。” “装出一副理解的样子，实际出现在面前，你不还是充满好奇吗？”
2720. 现在还因为同志身份去自杀，感觉不太至于吧。女的在讲台上说同志因为不想伤害身边的人，而筑起了高墙，这个角度还不错。
2.5⭐。女主太憋屈了，拍的很文艺但无法接受这样的价值观。难道gay痛苦，同妻就不痛苦吗？特别是女主这么阳光的小太阳🔆，要是成为同妻了简直难以想象。更不用说那个大叔的妻子有多惨，以及存在于这个世界上数以万计的同妻。
