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)
谈不上有多好，但也不难看，亮点只在于天海佑希、松重丰、草笛光子三个人精彩的表演上面，3.5星吧
这个如此作孽的童话故事看得我十分忧伤，女王和五郎叔都救不了。
整体很轻松诙谐，疫情居家第二日看的。合家欢去焦虑化的开导喜剧。推荐！很温暖，特效也做得不错！
挺有意思的日本片子，一开始以为是贩卖焦虑的内容，但影片中无不体现的正能量一点点治愈了观众。
情感陪伴和经济支持同等重要啊，未来的不确定性给养老很大压力。个人只能尽量筹谋。享受孤独吧，终点只能单身前往。
婆婆才是亮点（特别是宝冢吐槽），不过最后明明都有工作了却卖房住合租屋，这日本的不动产是租不出去吗？
真实又有趣，剧情稀碎主要还是靠演技，最后原来是让以房养老
不愧是《小猪教室》的导演（最喜欢的日影之一啦），属于演员的影片，观影过程轻松愉快，即便是进入他人悲惨的人生，也能够在负担不是很重的前提下获得重要的启示
我真的无法对这种套着温馨的和解片子产生共情 哪怕是天海
给四星是基于两个社会问题点：1.日本目前很流行的生前葬礼。3.没有养老基金的个人如何选择养老模式，中年以后的工作不稳定和孤独终老导致的失落寂寞，是否可以有别的养老生活来焕发生命质感和精彩，有质量的合租房是一个很好方式。所谓抱团养老生活。
本来以为是严肃题材，结果拍成脱离现实的温情喜剧。强大的阵容多加一星吧。不过点心的老板娘怎么会不存钱呢？这个太刻意了。而且他们家其实等于完全没有收入了啊？！😱最好笑的一幕是草笛光子对天海佑希说你这样的进不了宝冢。
电影还是太过理想化了，放在我国一般家庭子女早就因赡养费打官司了，而没几个老人如片中老奶奶优雅有尊严的老去。虽不是个爱热闹的人，但能保持良好的心态却不是一件易事。养老问题一直是人口老龄化之后最突出的社会问题之一，用喜剧的方式探讨养老问题确实很新颖。但我还想插句天海佑希也太能抗老了，虽然片中穿着朴素但还是美……

故事还是挺有趣的。但并不是我想要看的社会问题。电影过于美化了。share house这种结局，真的不现实吧。
日式风格，并不怎么搞笑…日式夸张搞笑，类似于国产尴尬搞笑
一部特别温馨感人的家庭轻喜剧，生老病死，人生中最沉重的事情，在电影中，以喜剧的形式表现了出来，而最后那场草笛光子扮演的婆婆“活人葬礼”，更是让人笑中带泪，十分感人！
最近的正好处于经济焦虑高峰，看到女主的养老金焦虑，十分有同感！存款金额真的是一言难尽，但总能碰上什么事情要花钱，社会风气煽动影响影响占了大部分，卷的这么厉害，大家都这么难，真的好想躺平，随它去吧，但又做不到。。。
婆婆真的太有气质了！天海一定是进不了宝冢笑趴我了，总体还不错~平均水平~
用一个轻松的方式说了一个沉重的话题，既不新鲜也无启示。btw，女王和五郎真配啊～
