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)
不评论这三爹一妈一男友，至少十元和咩酱的每一个特写都可以拿来当我电脑桌面了
细思极恐的情节：最后让克隆体在决斗前去毒死本体的主意，竟然是本体的男朋友和母亲集体作出的主意！——也因此，女主本体在未被毒杀而反杀了克隆体之后，才只有冒充克隆体去决斗现场，去轻易骗取了男友和母亲的口供，得以存活。不然的话，她以本体的身份而出现，那么男友和母亲必然知道克隆体的毒杀计划失败，必然知道本体已经杀了克隆体，不会善罢甘休，本体就会因赛前谋杀罪而入狱。所以，看似开放式结局，其实不是，各种推理最后都会指向一个结果：本体活下来了，但不得不以克隆体的身份苟活，因为最应该爱她的男友和母亲，都希望她死。
我好土，虽然真的很梦幻很假，但我就喜欢这种happyending。说句题外话，能不能让永野芽郁和小九去演另外一部好结局的花束恋爱？我看他们也可以！
十元女士很美，就是演技痕迹有点重，咩太美了
一部心理暗喻片。如片名所示，Dual，很多人的性格都是多面的，有的部分是自我和周边人认可的，有的部分是自我都不愿意认可的。
剧情已无力吐槽
克隆体活下来深刻， 本体活下来更深刻， 导演留个悬念让观众自己猜就更更深了。 深不见底，。
这种硬煽的故事，有点假，而且一开始就能猜到怎么回事了好吗。而且，这就叫爱，值得商榷。
反正我个人很喜欢，好久没哭，看这个哭的很爽
学了一年的格斗术最后没用上，这就跟听到楼上一支高跟鞋落地的声音，等不到另一支落地声一样难受。
不知道从哪开始的科幻片这么无聊。。。闷和无聊终究是两码事，这部纯属无聊
可惜了这么好阵容 剧本配不上。
剧情有点扯…我跟老婆说老婆就是可以托付的老实男哈哈哈哈哈哈。
这样一个剧本用得着这卡司吗？
而在包括亲人在内的众人的善意中心怀感激，是日剧日影不尽的得意主题。
reminds me of how Hollyhock is loved by eight stepdads. Makes me wonder为什么一个母亲的爱只能通过三个男人才能传递出去，为什么一个女人没有途径自己养育孩子，自己得到医疗救助。父权制的阴影那么长，结尾本应作为情感高点的walk down the aisle and hand over the bride更是让人不适。
是个温情故事，充满爱，但结尾说完接力棒的台词，连着片尾的女主姓氏变化，就有点变味。
本来想给8分的，因为被父母的爱所打动，结果快结束那琢磨这心里不是滋味。片尾字幕还这个优子那个优子的，就是没有优子自己本身。好像离开父亲老公优子就完全不能生存了一样，结婚了女性就隶属老公家了一样，整的和物品交付似的。
过于理想化的电影，这份爱在经过这么多次接力居然还没衰竭也是一种奇迹。女士能hold住各种造型，小咩的一颦一笑也都很有感染力，就是剧情槽点有点太多。以及田中圭的演技依然看得人那么尴尬。
樱樱啊，优子啊，请一定一定要幸福下去。要一直笑着，就会有好运降临哦。
