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)
真实事件改编，感情线实属累赘，可以完全删掉都不影响，亲情部分还是不错的。
1.小村子的车站故事是真实的，真暖心。2.男主和姐姐的故事线挺好的，就是在最后缺少一个圆满的道别，反而只是靠台词硬拉。3.允儿真的是迷人。
感人的现实童话。青涩的初恋与苦寡的生活映衬的恰到好处。那个整个东亚都在成长的年代，多数过着苦日子的人都活的单纯又自在，那种纯朴的热爱真的很有感染力。无论是男主的数学天才人设还是女主白富美人设都没有太稀释整个故事的质感。男主姐姐的设计简直是泪点引爆器了。无论奇迹诞生与否，热爱是人最珍贵的天赋。
横批，一切皆可泡菜。
故乡，姐姐，小房间。铁轨，父亲，二元站。初吻，女神，美利坚。故乡即是血地，埋葬着亲人。父子互不直视，但总有一天，父亲会沿着铁轨，借着萤火虫的微光，将儿子送往新世界，是离别也是理解。奇迹总会发生，生生不息。
故事核心：从对家人的自责中解脱出来，外加有点突兀的爱情线。
姐姐这个像鬼片一样的设置有点意思，如果没有姐姐死后“陪伴”在男主身边的戏码，而是改成物件和男主心理戏，就弱很多。
7.3分#平淡中还是带了些韩影特有的细腻温情，可惜故事讲述得并不是很吸引人，不过姐姐的设计还是俗却泪目～p.s.允儿好美～
有点落差。以为是要看爱情片的，开始以后发现姐弟的线比较主要，最后发现重点竟是父子的和解。为啥要把这么多元素混在一起，非得凑2小时吗？
故事分了三段，都有不同的主题和感觉。第一段是天才少年遇到可爱少女，第二段是和姐姐的人鬼情未了，第三段是父子和解。除了第一段和第二段之间的转折有点让人意外，每个段落本身都是极尽套路和乏味。还是想多看点yona的甜甜的恋爱戏，下次换个题材拍呗。
展现出姐姐已经不在了这个事实的时候其实是这部电影的情绪高潮，但这部分却一笔带过，而且过于前置，加我了太多类型的情感，这让情绪找不到爆发点，看起来就像一堆素材的堆砌。另外男主实在太老了，林允儿勉强能装这个嫩。
奇幻、怀旧校园、爱情、亲情……导演你想要的是不是太多了…模糊了些重点，为允儿打3星
直球又可爱的罗熙小天使 不仅仅是活跃影片气氛 更是男主成长不可或缺的一部分 是缪斯呀
不，你应该恨你爹…
感情戏太多，把剧情重心放在建造简易车站上会更好。
韩剧有一种特别的感觉，就是感觉即是田园牧歌的生活中也仿佛是可以实现的，是注重人的希望世界的。
父子感情，姐弟感情。
色彩，剧情，演员都尚可，车站为核心更是朴实。
林允儿有点语言天赋啊，我都听出这地方韩语的乡土气息了，据说还考过汉语等级证，属实厉害。
温情小品，取景地风光不错，稍微拐了点弯儿的简单剧情，也留下了几分踏踏实实的感动。// PS. 允儿又是花瓶——不过是一个非常养眼的花瓶~~~
