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)
喜欢一个人然后发现他的本质，可以不接受，可以离开，但不要歧视和嘲讽，世界那么大，他总会找到适合的那个人，而你的不接受并不代表不对。
噱头大于剧情，但徐贤的选片还挺灵活的，尝试这种剧情本身就要鼓掌了
把这个题材拍到能播的程度 要些水平 就是没法看
你说是AV吧，它连个肉都没露，你说不是AV吧，还真是一点剧情和逻辑都没有，唯一的看点就是男主的颜了。
非常有意思啊！韩国网络大电影范儿，却有着超出预期的水准。把虐恋文化放到电影中来演也算一绝。看完大概都会自我拷问下灵魂：我是变态吗？
大人爱情喜剧，节奏和笑料都还行，比较创新的是把SM和职场中的上下级权力关系联系起来。
原来是女子力，勇于反抗男性凝视的故事，但包裹了一层SM的壳子。
姐姐！我也可以！🙋♂️ps.你可以永远相信二代团的颜
还不错哎，男女主真好看 玩儿的也挺花哈哈哈哈
不知道为什么他俩play的时候差点意思，有点生硬尴尬看了没感觉。
有一些小挑逗，但除此以外就感觉没谈啥东西了。男主太可爱了！《在付岩洞复仇者》就对他的脸一见钟情。真的很像大狗狗！
看似禁忌题材，本质上还是爱情轻喜剧。女主太好看了，人物性格也吸引人，换了我也会爱上她啊！
女主表情僵硬台词传达能力极差是最大败笔，电影里随便找另一个女演员都比她演得好。作为性轻喜剧主旨传达略为偷工减料了，关于癖好只围绕在介绍和呼吁，就像在看一个带有几则真实案例公益小广告，说服力没有，移情没有，甚至猎奇也不足，标19禁不是要尺度多大，但起码关于这个话题说明白吧。男主确实演得有代入感，除了表现内面性格的演技比较单一外，硬凹的痕迹不重
明明旁白已经在向我说明电影想表达什么，但我愣是看不懂……在我眼里，这不就是sm版姐狗办公室偶像剧吗？但不得不说，选角真的不错。
剧情方面也乏善可陈，男主为了维护女主公然反抗上司的戏码也上演太多次了吧，估计这种桥段也就学生看了才会觉得男主好帅好勇敢真是绝美爱情吧，打工人看了只想给他一个白眼🙄
大开眼界啊 来学知识啊 厉害了 虽然我很尊重 但抖M的确很严重啊 啧啧啧
算是一次对小众题材不太成熟的尝试，细节方面东亚人比白人有表演天分多了
我年轻的人生还有许多新东西可以学习啊！（抽烟远目……）
网飞真有你的！男主太可爱了！谁能不喜欢修勾呢？！
意外地觉得这个故事内核很吸引人，就是关于恋爱关系中能否接受真实本真的身份认同这一点
