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)
在当今女性主义兴起的政治环境下，越来越多的女性主义电影尤其是讲述女性被男性压迫的电影出现，只不过故事之间虽有不用但其表达的内容越来越趋于同质化，观感之上使人难免有些乏意，即使是这部有着男性不断怀胎不断生产出男性的惊悚画面的电影依旧不能例外。
恰恰丝滑，跟《热带雨》有一丝丝像。青春的阵痛，让你追求更美好的自己。
我觉得一个早孕的单亲妈妈不会让一个陌生男人跟自闭症女儿待在一起然后自己去洗澡。其次自导自演的导演你最好本人也这么sweet，不然太给自己贴金了哈哈哈哈
crush后续的完美答案
小犹的成长故事？挺慢节奏的，失败的感情其实也就是成长的一部分啊，来了证明那多次还热泪盈眶的？。。弟弟的角色好像就为了证明男主有能力你存在感一样，唠叨的老妈倒是挺好的。。略矫情没啥大意义。。
想整细腻温情青春成长家庭片，拍得好像本科生不及格的毕业作品。
不免想到我大学快毕业时的状态，超喜欢Broken English，跟这片形成对照，都是隔靴搔痒的小清新，人到中年的我已经无法relate，留下的只有中年人生一片荒凉的心酸跟无奈。（Dakota整个人软绵绵的，好美腻！）
感情真实而动人，男主这样的存在实在是身边人的恩赐。
其实挺讨厌安德鲁这种满嘴跑鸡汤的年轻人，暖男又谈不上，有脾气有毛病的暖男不讨喜，但故事还不错。
终于到来的2022暑假看的第一部，成长确实挺难的，但电影没那么drama，好像是你的我的生活艺术化处理，我挺喜欢，可以小哭一下。对假期也开始期待起来，突然好像放下了必须放的够久的执念。四星半，入选年度系列。
看完觉得有这么温柔的男主人设吗？原来是自导自演 哈哈 不过男主很可爱啊
虽然又是一部女性角色帮助男性角色成长的电影，但是毕竟是自导自演，男主角太可爱了。he‘s a 10 but…no but…he is a 10!
太尼玛治愈了，summer sadness治愈神片。探讨各种心理疾病、成长烦恼。没有极端细致的观察和生活体验的人是写不出这种剧的ps：达妹好美
不知道评论什么，没找到共情的点，隔靴搔痒的感觉，但是男主的演绎很棒，可以看出是一个有趣又有才华的男孩，很可爱～
观感像《甘草披萨》和《花生酱猎鹰》。我算是摸透了这几年Dakota的选片套路了——诡异奇情的惊悚悬疑片或者清新文艺片。而在后者中，她总是一副气若游丝、人淡如菊的样子，情绪很激烈的时候也能淡淡地笑着哭，明明应该很没存在感却总让人觉得扎眼，可能这就是一种“婊气”？男性最爱吧！学习了！
圣丹斯版老美青年成长教育片，虽然没get到片名几个意思但是帅哥男主在多个情景和身份之间的转换（包括但不限于好姐妹兼炮友，贵妇的宠物情人，暖男，自闭症少女保姆，快餐店店员，派对暖场dj等）确实挺丝滑的。
致那些无家可归的爱恋。我们终会成长为大人。
年轻人的记忆，人生恰恰，都要走过的，哭着还是笑着
许多没有意义的对话也是有意义的。
故事很丝滑，岁数大了，爱情就不纯粹了，年龄错位，难以义无反顾。每个人都很温暖，他们真的好爱party.
