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)
说实在的，我是冲着宇植去看的，可是我感觉自己没看懂甚至以为看到了删减版…很多地方都说不通啊…唉……是我的原因？
这部电影带小孩子看还是不错的，故事很奇特很吸引人。
这是“推理巨作”？把我看的困死……崔宇植有没有头发盖差别还真挺大的！
老是觉得皮皮鲁&鲁西西不真实，感觉只是作者批判教育制度的工具人，不像真实的儿童。
5.5吧 大家都算正常发挥 属于一切方面都没惊喜那一类
可能是这次看得不太专注 最后我还看了个抖音短评才勉强把片子串起来 疑问是杀他爸的修车的 就这么算了？
主题还是挺明确的，但是感觉剧情整体上有点单薄

节奏紧凑但剧情平庸，阵容华丽但毫无亮点，落了俗套。
郑渊洁是几几年写的故事啊，多少人批了又批，骂了又骂，结果呢？还不是一样。
两位演员演技都可以，就是剧情感觉少了点东西
是不是每个国家都有延南会？
看了片名和简介很期待，结果导演是长久不拍电影忘记怎么拍了么？剧情混乱，节奏平淡，浪费题材和演员。
本来抱着对童年回忆的期望，想看看如今的成熟特效下如何呈现，结果却是失望而回～场景努力想呈现一些“怀旧年代感”，可是你这书包和校服完全不是那个年代该有的样子啊～选角的小孩都“很大众脸”这也没什么，但是能找点正常的来演吗？标签化扁平化人物，爸爸妈妈老师校长还不如“麦兜系列”来得立体，后面小人帮作弊那一段，真的以为导演要拍一部低龄版的《天才枪手》了～尬到直升机飞起～火灾逃生片段更是各种错误示范，老师带头一惊一乍高喊：赶快跑啊～应该冷静有序撤离好吗！大部分人祸都是慌乱踩踏产生的～真是服了～（果然中国不存在童话的生存土壤～）
前面是对当时教育的讽刺与批判，后面看似是学习与实践，其实就是想搞一波大团圆。小绿茶这个角色太典型了。
不是因为他是谁，是他启发我们：
主演演技都在线，但这个节奏怎么跳的很？尤其是后面
“只要你做的事结果是好的，就有民众支持你。”不是非黑即白，而是踩在灰色地带。商业电影一如既往的套路，反转反转再反转，总之让你猜不到结果又能预估剧情走向，有些情节无需较真。完全靠演员演技支撑的一部电影。
全演员演技值得五星，但是人物形象和故事情节有点单薄，没有高潮情节的刺激感。
好一般的片子，不像样的打戏不像样的转折和人设，没有什么亮点。崔宇植转型得好好挑本子啊，气势还不太够，但真够利落。适配性很强，加油！
