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)
93年男主演高中生好违和。开场歌曲很抓耳，但电影给人一种立不住的空心感，情绪是靠音乐刺激，故事的起承转合太生硬和虚假。
6。”You’ll Be Found” is still touching. 剧情不太行。
演员的演技都没问题，剧情有点单薄，杂乱的时间线令人头秃，大结局说实话觉得有点画龙添足了。
救。。。说实话咩姨一嗓子出来我是真的被惊呆了
每个人都在努力的活着啊 希望福利社会的那天能真正的到来 （不知道有多少无名的英雄在暗处努力的做着这一切）让我们发声吧 不论几次 要比那些卑劣的人发的更响亮 更理直气壮
没看过舞台剧的基础上，比想象中好很多，包括原来最担心的节奏问题，Evan的故事线和道德困境讲的还挺完整（这不吊打去年的舞会），AA和摩尔真是近期合作了两部的烂片姐妹会，但这两部“烂片”（另一部是窗边的女人）我都觉得挺好。Ben的年龄还是大了，有几场戏他边哭边唱但神情和口型又像在说台词有点违和感。
这个世界其实都没错
Dear Evan Hansen, you little piece of shit.
倒叙和现在，两线并进，逐步逼近真相。311大背景，应该可以拍出更深刻的故事。要么走感动，要么悬疑到底，但都没有
灰暗衰败的震后城市废墟和满目绿色生机盎然、建筑完好的景观两相对比，唉～
对福利制度的探讨加深了电影叙事的浓度。喜欢这种半悬疑、半社会问题思考的主题。每个演员都演技在线。剪辑和节奏我都觉得没问题，是值得一看的好电影，毋庸置疑。
给砂糖加一星吧。题材可，但无法感同身受。犯罪剧情也很老套，叙事流于表面……
建议社会派推理放弃推理【你社会部分不是整挺好的嘛！
五星里有一星是冲动打分。这并不是一部探案片，也不是悬疑电影。最让人在意的反而是在灾难过后的时代，片中人们无处可发泄的无明悲伤和愤怒。就像此时此地中的我们，想为一切找到理由，让情绪找到出口。正因为如此，片尾阳光下的大海才会如此打动我，一切都会过去，都会显得不那么重要。
我宽叔表现还是依然稳定，但是阿宽拯救不了整部戏，开头还是不错的，但是越往后就滑入了女主复仇故事，其实大灾难更多表现人的人性改变和灾难后环境改变人这些都没有表现出来，也缺乏张力，整部电影过于沉闷。电影谈到了政府关于大灾难后低保救济金这个社会问题，本来也是好的点，单一用在女主复仇条件处理过于潦草。
改成电影后对人物心理和情感上的塑造都变得更加立体，小本的唱功真的是无懈可击，摩尔阿姨证明了演技是可以弥补唱功的。即使有些瑕疵依然是我心中的五星作品。有几个问题，康纳的演员长得太阳光了，没有原卡司那种长发阴郁的感觉，另一个就是把爸爸的歌还有开头的妈妈们的歌给删了，估计是嫌电影太长？其实有很多文戏可以加快的，删歌是真的没必要。
循规蹈矩可否就是一种事不关己的渎职呢，说到底都是为了更优雅的果腹罢了，但有没有那么转头的一顺，去看看那些得不到保护无助待死的人们，还是说假装着未曾注意。

小干一出现就猜中了整个剧本。不过没想到对贪腐的表现很隐晦，只影射到不作为。
not half as good as I had in mind
