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)
徐演员淡妆真的好美。看这样的电影总觉得心脏痛，你我都知道每一面都有滑向更坏地步的可能。
前面拖沓的节奏完全抵消了后边剧情的魅力，两代女巫像两种女性的人生对照组，借贪狼女之口讲出的那句为什么对你而言这么容易，当然容易，被爱和被胁迫相比起当然是前者的人生更容易。
每次在小女巫幸福的时候，都被因为嫉妒而来的玛利亚女巫毁掉，换心化形的女巫设定蛮吸引人一直看下去的。
披着恐怖外衣的文艺片。近乎全程的女巫独白，很催眠。为了体验不一样的人生，一种探索。突然想起《鬼魅浮生》，但那个比这个更精彩些。

[视]R血，露点。劳米戏份有限，整体枯燥，日常琐碎，当地人文，西方闹洞房文化，幻化变形<孵化>，多人合饰一角<内在美>
一时兴起凌晨看恐怖片 发现是邪性惊悚文艺片，间歇让我想起充满宗教神性的《幸福的拉扎罗》。
算是《钛》的复制品吧，几乎任何方面都很一样。
懵懵呓语，最后只是为了得到别人的爱和成为“伟大的母亲”。
多一星给徐玄振的演技 年轻人得阿尔兹海默症感觉更痛心
披着恐怖片外皮的文艺片，原片沉闷得让人看不下去，转而看的别人的解析，导演是从女巫的角度来探讨生命和社会的议题，恕我欣赏不来这么深奥的表现方式
不是所有作品都给予人们希望的，来次绝望吧，但，绝望更要有勇气面对啊！
泪崩了…太难了…前面有多体面后面就有多伤心…和父亲撑了这么久…终于女儿和丈夫回来了…一下子放心许多…看的时候总是想到自己要是患了这种病该怎么办…唉……其实挺难过剧中父亲打她那下的…看来久病床前不仅无孝子…时间长了谁都控制不了情绪，理解但悲伤而现实
一个人还在盛年时就患上痴呆症，无疑比判了死刑还更为痛苦，看着自己一天天的物是人非却又无可奈何，真是最折磨人的。可是，人无论如何总是不能放弃希望，在那些艰难日子里能支撑你活下去的，唯有极其浓烈的爱，撑起你对于未来的希望，他们会让你明白活着才能有来日。以前是你来守护我，现在换我来守护你了，你的孩子已经长大了，你可以不用一直很辛苦了。
文艺向恐怖片，有关人性的探讨那段挺有意思的，不过感觉要是改为纯粹的文艺片或者恐怖片会更好一些
开头猫主观视角搞得挺灵气，剩下的新意就是用女巫装13啦。
到最后遇到真爱之人，成为无坚不摧的母亲，那同样人生经历“我这一生过得惘然，而未曾见过美好”的女巫嫉妒而愤怒吼“为何这一切对你就这么容易？”
在同类型片中流于形式的中庸之作，束手束脚。女主演技仍需努力，没有什么突破可言。有情节也不够合理，总体一般。
年度最美电影没有之一 正方形构图莫名就自带一种优雅的气质 哪怕画面里是个浑身烂肉的老巫婆
三星半。还不错。人类在疾病面前真的太渺小了，所以心态要好，尽力享受当下所拥有的，就算没有辜负这短暂又平凡的一生了。
