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)
行货吧，也不能说差，但就是没什么出彩的点，除了几段的摄影。
3.5，知道那是东木的替身在驯马，一点都不违和。
这么垃圾的剧本，起码的认真态度都没有，完全是吃老人的原有声誉资本。
91的高龄还奋战在前线，太了不起了！剧情比较平淡，小男孩选的不太好。为老爷子多加颗⭐！
其实他还健康的偶尔拍拍东西，我们就该感恩了不是吗，这就足够了。
治愈啊！典型的东木大爷西部公路片，在路途中完成自我的找寻和定义！
岁月不饶人，东木真的老了！故事本身就是老套的剧情，还有点西部情怀的成分！越看越少的东木电影！
看着颤颤巍巍的东木，实在是太心疼了。但故事是真的挺无聊的
整体平淡无奇，老爷子90多岁还亲身上阵出演实在不易！
《廊桥遗梦》中的东木老爷子确确实实有其独特的男人魅力，但本片中还不断有女人倒贴就多少有些他想展现自己不服老的意味了。
如何温柔地与现实妥协，脚步放缓的同时也试图想让一切变的更加细水长流，让所有的美好都更加美好，让所有的温情都更加动人，没有任何技巧，没有任何所谓的套路与转折，只看到我们自己内心真正想要的东西。不过可以看出最后的倔强依然也在被保留和坚持，这趟关于西部情怀的公路之旅，是应该让当下花花世界所看到的，需要被铭记的那段回忆与歌谣。所有美好到不真实的瞬间都或许是自己享受过的梦境，不愿醒来，因为醒来的时候眼角会湿润。
东木老爷子依然创作力旺盛，可也想着休息咯～
老人、孩子与鸡。一场乘着夕阳之光而行进的公路电影。东木年事已高，在他的创作中已十分明显，有着一种不愿面对纷杂纠葛的慈悲与和蔼。
老爷子的电影一直都是质量的保证，就像本人一样永远逗人喜爱啊，不过这次的电影失手了。故事陈旧且水平不行，毫无新意，只够两星水准。
老爷子的新电影看一部少一部，镜头下的墨西哥空旷且风光无限，人物简单故事一般，就是喜欢他的节奏和只属于他电影的美感。
俗套的治愈系公路片，小男孩，老人和小动物，有点菊次郎感。东木好温柔哦
#豆瓣电影 陪阿欣过午夜付钱 老戏骨身体健康、开心就好。你想玩啥，我都看👍🏻 哭泣的男人.Cry.Macho.2021.1080p.WEBRip.x264-RARBG
需要矛盾与冲突的地方都可以猜出来，每一个铺陈之后都没什么意外。不过，还是佩服东木大爷。
8.0/10，好像只是讲了一个很普通的故事，我却看的很入神。东木老师果然是讲故事的高手。
平淡無奇，簡潔直接，但結尾有點感動。東木爺子此等精力令我敬佩，有些許幾個鏡頭很有感覺，但估計是因為老爺子體力不如以往，沒時間雕琢。他現在就是想多拍。多一部就是賺，拍下去！此外，還有一些台詞；結合老爺子年輕時的精力；對過往是有反思的。
