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)
双女主外形不在我的点上，有点嗑不动，同床共枕后就勾勾小手，真是让人意犹未尽，太多宗教限制，谈个恋爱可真难，下次不想看这种宗教背景的拉拉了，难受😣
看的我都很激动，吻戏太苏了，氛围感太好了。
俩新人演员也是尽了力了。
谁能想到说着“爱是恒久忍耐又有恩慈”的经言恰恰毁了爱呢?我对幸福都会祝福，我不知道玛丽克结婚生子后到底幸不幸福，如果幸福，她原本或许会更幸福，是“本我”的幸福。| 两个女主每次的眼神和勾手都好甜啊，杰敏长得又英气又好看，为了和喜欢的人待一起，可以去做不喜欢的事情，这是什么“小狗”??| 或许玛丽克的妈妈走了也是一种隐喻，她也喜欢女孩子吗?
当她父亲在教堂大谈特谈爱是忍耐和包容时，宣布了女儿订婚的“喜讯”，宗教下的多盲目和“虔诚”，只不过是为了自己的目的而美其名曰。两个女孩子的交往和大多数人的经历都差不多，初见的惊鸿，相处的融洽，爱恋从懵懂到每天想你无数遍，悸动的青春，拍的很好啊，只是在宗教背景下，那定是没啥好果子吃，you can live forever，在心底吧。
稀松平常的故事，不过是包裹着宗教和女同元素的青春期普通爱情
一般，最后俩人不应该再见面了，一个继续追求自由去旅行去交新的女友，另一个就在家相夫教子夜深人静时拿着明信片以泪洗面吧。
很意外的一部电影，氛围感好好，牵手跟不牵手那里让我也跟着七上八下
故事在姬圈和它当中文影名一样老套，发到微博bot上都没人想讨论的地步～
青少年的暧昧和情欲描绘得淋漓尽致，背后的拥抱禁忌暧昧，这个场景是我的最爱，我永远拒绝不了拥抱。每次看她们亲吻都抑制不住地紧张，总是害怕她们被发现，多么可悲。
前面真的很平平啊，就向每个宗教拉拉电影一样。每次亲的时候我都在想，get a room! 锁门啊，下一秒就怕被人撞见..还有jamie 长的好像rose Leslie?.....后面二十多分钟真的爆哭,升华了的感觉..最后结局算开放式结局吧， I have read it for like a million times and i think about you all the time , about us....Do you? Every day....Not gonna let me go? No........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
女同片，我好像从来不反感，男同片就看不下去。
女主被拿捏死了，为了约会还要去bible study，心疼了。我还是很爱这样的片子，没有明确的be我就当可以he了，我真的很需要快乐的女同电影，很需要。

还真是很好地诠释了“爱是不嫉妒又恒久忍耐”。
车后座牵手那里的性张力和空气中的暧昧气息，比做爱还让人肾上腺素飙升和窒息。
很热血，笑点足够，完成度很高。 CBD万达 不散No.197
毫无亮点啊，两位女主之间也是毫无火花呀。练接吻都很干。
没看到特别多性张力和感情张力，感觉之前关于宗教和生活方式的问题不解决…两个人肯定还是一地鸡毛…
讨厌 爱是忍耐 的说教🙄️/ 我是真的无法理解为什么能坚定地相信新世界必将来临。anyway拍得很细腻，喜欢浴缸受洗那一幕，也喜欢Jamie对抗“真理”的勇敢
