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)
感觉现在的电影范式变了…我们不再满足于单纯地观看叙事，只是讲述一个故事是不足够的，我们期待在电影里感受到对于时代和人的存在性的更深思考…
这片子不行啊，女主再酷也不行。人物不够丰满，故事节奏不好。而且作为一个从业者看这个电影，我很难想象一个AI平台深度学习系统的数据标注员能住这么好的房子，工作这么随意扯淡一样。
剧本很巧妙，涵盖的内容也很多，妮可仿佛又焕发青春了。艾伦索金的片依然对非英语国家的观众不友好。
一句"Lucy,I'm home"不再是幽默开场
看什么都不知道。。。
女神少打点针吧 已经够美了😂 不打针演技也会更自然
妮可基德曼太美了~~~果然，男人靠不住，唉
对老片子扣当时拍摄的细节，对影人是一直自我缅怀吧。
工整剧本下是高饱和度的台词和海量的信息。但影片要表达的关键词又在几个重要场景中呼之欲出。妮可·基德曼贡献了又一个鲜明且与众不同的银幕形象，结尾的那场戏四两拨千斤，喜剧表象下的暮色与沉重就仿如最后化身黑白的镜头，令人慨叹唏嘘。
P.S1：三个干脏活的应变能力实在太差，2022年能让一个语音助手整不会了，你喊一声小度小度滚犊子不就完了。
7/10，混入了太多议题了，再加上大段大段的台词，容易让人找不到重点，也难以细细回味。
人物性格转变太突兀了 人设立不起来 女主这种病根本不是很快就能克服的 不适合电影里的设定（参考无耻之徒里的Sheila 那位转变的就很合理）
轻盈，灵动，锋利，从《丧心病狂》开始，索德伯格以极简主义的姿态进行数字媒介的创作探索，这部片子感觉是他近几年状态最好的一部作品。
3.5 索金还是在剧本上有一个一以贯之的问题，就是过于急迫的在一个故事里塞太多东西，政治、婚姻、女性声音这些放在一个故事中都很难说清楚，野心太大反而说得多而乱。妮可的表演是没有任何问题的，但是不得不说打针打得有点点过度了，有点可惜，她和巴登感觉是在两个轨道上，甜蜜的时候有点牵强，后面演分崩离析反而好一些。
男神傷透我心之哈維爾巴登再遇爛片⋯實在是太 無 聊 了，快進+分為5段看完的。美名其曰「傳記片」，看完卻絲毫沒有激起進一步瞭解人物及背景的慾望。把閃回用成這般辣雞也是沒誰了。btw妮可基德曼怎麼變這個樣子了啊也太嚇人了wdm（只是學會了圍讀一詞
和导演之前的《失心病狂》有的一拼，也更加证明了这导演没什么卵前途了
索德伯格也是相当赶潮流了，新冠疫情+大数据时代+Metoo，把这三大热门话题融合成了一个90分钟故事，拍得有速度感有反思，女主单枪匹马挑战强权也算copy自己的《永不妥协》了，至于对《后窗》的致敬打破了从偷窥者视角切入，而是以被窥看者作为主角，正好暗示了信息时代每个人都面临了被监控的命运，片中有两段让人后脊发凉:一是女主虹膜信息被授权只是因为同意了某网站条款，二是犯罪者轻易通过定位和搜索记录成功拦截女主位置。
觉得挺好看的呀。基德曼阿姨越看越觉得演的很厉害。
（看看我会不会是豆瓣第2011个围观今年影后表演的观众）
文化差异实在是有点大……本来以为这片的核心是女主如何向公众证明自己不是共产党员，结果其实是讲女主和丈夫之间的事……
