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)
我还是那句老话，到处都能看到陈以文，他才是真正的男劳模。
开头5分钟的时候就让我怀疑这电影是来洗钱的。。。王彦霖，你怎么了？？！！
中年妇女的内心世界，没有出口，只好自己做一个假的
7/10.
如果我有错，会有老天用雷劈我，而不是看这样一部剧本没打磨过，节奏稀烂，强行剪辑，演技浮夸的烂片。
有这能力还谈什么恋爱啊，爱情线就是多余，女主角的部分删掉都可以，张子栋确实出彩，花妞更是神来之笔，九亿少女的梦这个ID让我想起来乃琳老师——征服九亿少女哈哈哈。
尚可 散场听人讨论龙标号是2018年的 漫画改的嘛 剧本比想象中好玩 还算愉快
最后警察怎么出现的？草莓和阿震进展太快吧？草莓男朋友是个什么身份？黑哥一直以来是个什么身份？三千五百万的猴子在破烂的房顶上开个口就能偷走或放回？
没必要这样压抑自己吧，人生苦短，不如相忘于江湖。

就像是用力挠你痒痒让你笑一样... 无聊到可怕，可能是对于男女主都有一些好感所以就更忍不了这种烂片了，剧情也是乱七八糟，真的很无语哈。
生活过得浑浑噩噩谁又不是在修行呢。一听到刺耳的搅拌的声音就要崩溃的感觉！痛苦的煎熬啊！看不下去。。。台湾现在这些貌似现实主义题材的电影实在是不太好看，虽然之前也有看过很多台湾名导拍的这种题材的电影，还好不至于看不下去。。。这个有点儿太刺激了！闹心
城导，你还是多拍点情色片吧，这种类型的片子不适合你。
这个房子是拍《怪胎》的那个么？还是台湾这种房子内外格局都是这样的哦……
一场中国家庭普遍存在的中年危机的冲突，在一个追寻身心灵的妻子和一个默默承受的丈夫之间无声的展开，外道的修行终无法让生活安宁，只有生活本身的修行才能将生活继续下去。
感觉比《日不落酒店》还差。看不懂电影的主题是什么。阿震和草莓的恋爱故事？小偷改邪归正的故事？教训人生的平台多重要？
太蠢了，像在饭局上像听那些自以为有趣的社会人在聊天，
日影总能题材取胜，但也总是差口气，本来很有趣的故事，结果拍得反而没有什么意思了，这些年田中圭发展得越来越好，这个角色比他之前所扮演的那些窝囊老公要好太多了。
可能我喜欢田中圭吧，看完感觉就普通，不算很讨厌
陈湘琪演这种中年妇女危机真的信手拈来的好，无奈导演爱装逼，想学蔡明亮学的很烂
