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)
用力感受 肆意生活吧 感受世界的存在真的是很奇妙的事
将死前删掉与你的回忆唯独留下与你第一次夜桜散步中“要好好活下去啊”的片段，闭上眼走马灯是想象中原本的未来。最后忽然飞起的樱花是不是茉莉的思念呢。「ちゃんと生きてね。」「わかった。」
“还好有十年”
像摊煎饼果子一样将恐怖类型正面反面来回煎，薄脆葱花辣椒酱，以惊声尖叫的脸为圆心画一个惊声尖笑的360度旋转木马。无论是一星五星短评的battle，还是骂看未删减资源影迷恶臭并流下酸腐眼泪的傻逼资本家，都比电影本身更精彩。
等了好久的电影，呈现方式很美好，或者说很凄美。总而言之，感觉还是要活下去呀，愿所有人都能战胜疾病。
还是没有逃过最后的情绪拉满，这到底是茉莉自己的事，还是两个人的事。
最后没有直接告诉观众茉莉的结局 是为了不破坏这份美好吧
似乎看了很多遍的剧情给三星
奈奈和坂口的颜，加上日剧的唯美镜头，整部影片像看一场超长时间的MV。结局却是be……
人生好长，长到只能和你短短相遇。
昨晚看完，今早起来女儿在沙发上玩磕到了后脑勺，双手抓后脑，哭叫着要撒娇一下，我以为她要给我从后脑撕出个Gabriel来。
总觉得这个故事可以拍得更精彩，坂口健太郎真的好帅啊，小松菜奈也很美，野田洋次郎的声音还是那么的好听！！！
后半段看的那叫一个瞠目结舌，一种伴随着恐怖、诡异和近乎搞笑的神奇观影体验。你很难用以往的标准去界定这部恐怖片，我只知道温子仁又一次满足了我。
前面部分是温子仁擅长的鬼屋恐惧，惊悚的氛围，很多夜景画面质感十足，后20分钟直接血腥程度起飞，让人目瞪口呆！虽然没有通篇延续之前的灵异惊悚恐怖，感觉温子仁回到了【电锯惊魂1】的初心，血腥拉满。……甚至在真相设置上有一丝致敬【死寂】的震撼感，中间还有打趣【招魂3】的对话。虽然真相是（隐藏），但Gabriel可以控制电磁信号，还是有些超自然的设定的。
是夏日海边的浪花
剧情老套但催泪 为なな的演技 坂口的帅气 RADWIMPS的配乐多打一星
恶灵大杀四方之前总要穿好风衣戴好皮手套拿起尚方宝剑摆个pose......就，有点好笑
一开始我以为 达里奥·阿基多，而后渐渐搞起了《姐妹情仇》《孽扣》那一套。咦……那是奇洛教授？被大开杀戒的异形嗨爽了！玩到最后原来是《冰雪奇缘》~
有时间流逝 有亲人朋友 有陪伴日常
10年的厚重感在片子里如樱花瓣那么薄。在日本的第一部日语片，值得纪念。
