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)
但是对于悬疑片，感觉差了不是一点点。
网大身份的电影，制作还是比较细腻的，整体结构、叙事方式都不错呀，结局符合预期。
网大能成这样不错了 不过整体节奏慢 线索过于明显 2小时过长 空镜头 确实有电影感 希望团队 再接再厉
富有文艺气息的悬疑片，视觉氛围营造得不错。相比于中途就猜到结局，反倒是人物的行为逻辑有些难以自洽，影响了质量
为了文艺而文艺 实际上又混乱又空洞无物 不知道到底想表达什么，全当是爱情吧
类型: 剧情 / 悬疑
悬疑开头，文艺续体，古早背景，诗意片名。整体观感平淡，质感在国产电影中加一星以资鼓励
摄像挺厉害！但是逻辑上硬伤有点多，营造悬疑感差点意思，拿文艺范又拿得很刻意，两个重点都没抓好而且没啥信息的地方还讲的啰哩罗嗦的
反转的过多了 最后一个还没有说服力
好棒！摄影太漂亮啦 故事虽然有点草率但是十分动人
能理解小成本电影的不易，但确实注水以及有bug，画面真的不错，就是我看睡着了，推理性不强
看开头就知道结尾和真相，悬疑剧本不好做。倍速了……但是也看完了
剧作上的视角切入点过于跳跃，观众都不知道看谁，当然如果你是施耐庵除外，写到哪里看谁谁好看。
这个名字的字体设计很喜欢！是不是在暗示什么。居然是根据真实改编，那就没有暗示了。。节奏有点儿慢，摄影好像行，也不是摄影，几个空镜很不错。超现实探案，一个画像直接把最难的地方不用写了，这种设定都是设定了也不好说啥。。略傻逼的角色好写，但是难看啊。为什么要写模版式的角色。说的就是那个警察。整个剧本好像还挺可以的，最后能成闭环。还能模糊化，让人遐想，谁是谁，谁死了。色调不错，暗黄暗黄的。
不错的片子，悬疑片带着文艺气息，剧情通过推测不断修改，逐渐拼凑出正确的样貌
情节3星
富有文艺气息的悬疑片，视觉氛围营造得不错。相比于中途就猜到结局，反倒是人物的行为逻辑有些难以自洽，影响了质量
有看出想表达出远山淡影这个词很凄惨很美的意境，但是电影冗长。在电影进行到40分钟的时候就已经猜到大概结局了，而且电影漏洞也很多，林音的死不交代清楚还故意往错的方向引导观众…
悬疑文艺片 画面有质感 内容虽然可能会有猜测到结局 但逻辑算自洽 情感丰富
现在的导演大概以讲好一个故事为耻，哪怕这是个悬疑片。力气全花在摄影上，但调光又没分开回忆与现实。这是一个悬疑版的小镇芳华，讲不好人物心理驱动力，就写不好人性，写不好人性，就不会有人物成立。在人物缺陷很大的情况下，摄影反而成一种，累赘。淡影(杀人案中人性黑暗）模糊，远山(女性互助与复仇）也不会清晰。对了，这和石黑一雄没有关系没有关系。
