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)
嗯...一口气把俊男靓女谈三部恋爱看完了 现在咱就是说 对恋爱有点ptsd（男女主都有病 不敢相信还to be continued...god you must be kidding...）
女主的父母是傻 b.结局不应光仍传单，应把他们也仍楼下去.
女性权益加现实主义，瑕不掩瑜，印尼在向正确的方向迈进。期待导演下一部。
男主的腚应该是本片的亮点，别的部分真的一般般

为了看脸都坚持不下去的第三部，快点完结吧😭
复印机的设定有点意思，但整体走向还是能猜到，部分情节太刻意。
给👴整无语了，男主居然是他的儿子。好狗血！女主去医院那里也不说清楚，还整个连续剧咩？我以为我在看小时代😲
这部剧的男女主角比较像个正常人而不是doi工具了，最后短短一天毁了男女主本来幸福的生活真的不理解他妈和女主老板脑子里在想什么😓😓😓😓，男主还没毕业下一部要怎么回去面对他爸啊，我不理解真的
原本以为是邪教，原来是有钱富二代的变态审美，女主这股子坚韧的劲看的我佩服又心疼。前面悬疑氛围挺重，邪压正，结局强行力挽狂澜，算悬疑片，对当事人来说才是恐怖片
好像片头从美高梅和福克斯变成奈飞就是一眨眼的事情，但也要感谢奈飞让我们有机会看到更多非传统意义上电影大国的作品，虽然不一样文化拍出来的作品又好像变得越来越像了。节奏偏慢，拍得冗长，剧情也基本上在预料之中。复印机的意象不够强烈，深度还可以再挖掘。
印尼电影看的比较少，仅看过的几部主题也都是涉及地方特色宗教恐怖片，这部很现实主义，但隐隐感觉是一种全球化式的现实主义，不知道是好事还是坏事。
这一颗星给全片短暂出现的fuji blue的it takes two 是这首歌finally drag me out of my game and make me take a look at this shit
一部比一部差，不知道要讲什么，本来男女主的相处方式已经觉得挺无语的了，还要整爹妈的那点破事，电影拍成狗血连续剧。至少某城每部都是主题比较清楚的啊……
这部可以 没有那么多闹心的误会 hardin成熟了一点
好无聊…15分钟快进看完，感觉都浪费时间。
沙雕的剧情，两个像是吃了躁郁药的幼稚鬼…尤其是男人。两人一天天没正事，不是互相埋冤就是互相猜忌，而解决这一切的就是打炮！感觉就像是互相色诱的手段…最后那个叔叔是我爸的剧情是什么鬼…醉了。
大蠢片（褒义）。其实是卡普拉式神经喜剧，冒险部分在110分钟的片长中有些过短了，但老掉牙的动作桥段依旧有效。
剧情一言难尽，2颗星给男女主的颜，十分狗血
一个能把胎记看作星空的人，独具一双慧眼，却没人找对揭开星空的方式。
