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)
大学的时候看过不少爱情轻喜剧，再过十年我仍然爱看，虽然俗气老套，比不了诺丁山，比不了恋爱假期，可是如今，也太需要了，突然明明妈妈们为啥能看的进去那些“玛丽苏”了
看着这个组合就觉得这一定是喜剧，果然不出所望😂明星指着一个人，然后瞬间变成结婚对象？让人意外的是，最后男女主竟然真的在一起了，虽然是个非常开心的结局，但是有点让人觉得不够真实。电影可以改名为《霸道女总爱上我》，整体非常俗套，狗血，套路。但是并不影响观看，甚至觉得还有点好看，集合了爱情、喜剧、音乐三项元素为一身，主演之间竟然在二十五年前有过合作！情感把控和节奏掌控也尚可，可看！3.4/5
难以下咽 女主真的…还以为在看亲吻亭…感觉下一秒noah都要出场…剩一小时没看救赎自己
能不能不要拍的一惊一乍的，到底是要表现什么。提了很多电影，却觉得像是在蹭。虽然男主很帅
巨星艳福不浅，居然嫁了个普通人。 话说，里面的就行歌曲真好听。
女明星爱上数学老师，过时的跨阶级爱情故事，跟诺丁山差远了。歌还行
三个男生都可爱 但chemistry不足 想看Michael夫夫两个人演 Home cinema with mom for Christmas
欧文……我滴欧文（抹口水）……巨星配居家男其实也蛮有趣
挺俗套的，maluma还能再油腻点嘛？如果marry me这种歌还能提名就说明格莱美真死了。
依稀往梦魂归来，青春再版人鬼恋。
情人节套路作品。Owen不够帅减一星，但J Lo太美加一星。剧情什么不重要，反正大家也不信🤨，如果找大本来演男主，可信度会高很多，哈哈！
看的版本翻译得太差，只能靠着自己的懒英语瞎听听吧
歌都好好听啊，洛佩慈真是个会唱歌的人。喜欢她的尸比月殳。
好狗血，好喜欢，剧情是真的从开始就猜到结尾，但是中间有些剧情还是冗长了点，可以更有趣一点，歌还蛮好听的
Luke出场的时候，激动的差点叫出声。其他的就不强求了，毕竟只是国外的春节档而已。
女主角非常美，艳光四射的大明星，电影配乐也好听。男主角口头很会撩，会到根本不像一个数学老师，年纪看上去也偏大，令故事的合理性打了折扣。老又矫情，他何德何能？如果能花些篇幅烘托男主的魅力会更好。
片名又叫做《平行爱情》。有点元电影的感觉。女主角是一名文青，爱好摄影和电影评论。多灾多难的设定借鉴了韩剧？青春偶像悲喜剧。还加入了励志成分。女主角心脏受伤，产生幻觉，幻觉中的死去男友其实是她另外一个分身。本人现实且悲观，幻象乐观又温情。
其实是一部合格的爆米花爱情电影，同样类似的桥段别人都已经可以完全合理男女角色调换了，可能我们的国产爱情片还是仍然霸道总裁爱上我吧
爱永不死，失去过某人的悲伤会像灯塔一样，召唤他回到自己身边，逝世不是真正的死亡，别被忘记才是。
圣诞合家欢。关注温馨氛围和满屏帅哥就好，剧情可忽略
