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)
但隐喻是真的很棒，趁机了解了一下亚瑟王的系列故事。镜像反骑士，我喜欢这个idea
一个“迪士尼公主”，披了一层“聊斋皮”，喷上“A24香水”。难受。
追忆、缅怀与反思，是电影也是纪录片，不仅是一个诺贝尔奖作家的骨灰归乡记，也是整个意大利的二战战败史，最后用这个作家写的一个小故事作为结尾，颇有点儿寓言和反思的味道，用暴力来终结暴力是一种小孩子式的思维和处理方式，但这就是战争
抱歉了
800倍速看完后半生但求一死的高文，还挺后现代的
标准的儿童电影，可可爱爱的，社区里的人也都很温暖可爱，治愈电影
挺好看，但是总觉得情感上还是缺点什么，不够饱满
散场前排小朋友对爸爸说 我太困惑了 以后再也不听你的推荐了 我给了他一个迷之微笑 :)
期待越高失望越大，魔幻元素不少，A24也有质量保证，但是故事内核却很单调
看完“警长说电影”剧透来的，下面附上链接：https://b23.tv/b255FL。

三星半吧，一个男孩的Coming of age故事之中世纪神话版，看过的亚瑟王和骑士文学类改编作品虽多，但对原著及其传说还是一知半解，静下心来看完，被营造的气氛、画面和音乐深深沉醉，Dev Patel真的gorgeous，从光洁的额头、薄而紧实的肌肉到修长的腿都散发着性感，好喜欢小狐狸，Joel Egerton本人虽是直男，但演过的好多角色都有种隐隐的酷儿感。
天啊 浅薄的我完全没看懂这部电影。。。。。。。
长诗转电影，兜转了那么久终究要谈最重要的承认问题，这当然能让人摆脱有死，但这里真正达成这重境界终究还是原著，而古董寓言的成长故事一经展开，确实是天生现实又自带浪漫，也貌似只有在这样的维度上，才能古典。
很美丽的童话，爆笑了好几次，跟想象的大红狗真的不太一样
不会有手下留情的仁慈
【Ralph Ineson的映前导赏又有用又可爱~】莫名对标的是好几个有着接近背景的作品：《天命之咒》、Taron版《罗宾汉》、Fuqua04版《亚瑟王》….无一滑铁卢。繁复的大场面和高昂的制作投入虚有其表，却总是忽视了角色“现代性”行动逻辑与时代的格格不入。然而这里却是个全然不同的故事，角色自己的历程与道德式剖析在其中紧密相扣，并不急于快进到更为直观的结果与转折。观众可以知道TA所了解之外的，而导演也清楚自己要在“之外的”做怎样的开拓。但恨不得辱骂A24宣发，Dev Patel的下一提怕是要被你吃了。
“你已经抵达了旅途的终点，可能比你预想的要快一些，但每个人又何尝不是如此。”
作为A24铁粉来说说，风格仍然过硬，节奏差强人意，美术无可挑剔，台词不伦不类
被砍头时的几次躲闪显得真实可爱。
