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)
《自卫的艺术》导演新作，还是能看出两部作品很相近的地方~比如依然使用格斗术，还有在各种神经紧绷的剧情之下突然插入的偶尔喜剧；小粉角色对应Alessandro Nivola那般神经质和精于挑衅的导师型角色，Jesse的个人问题与身份处理则置换到“Sarah”身上。故事在之上更进一步，纳入很简单也绝不故作高深的问题，来展示对“克隆”这个科幻命题的小视角解读；体量接近像《黑镜》等科幻诗选的容量，并通过大牌“路人”Theo James作为引子发散提问，看得还是很快乐的。Karen Gillan诠释双角同样有惊喜，也还会期待导演的下一部是什么。
我看不懂，我不相信有这么多愿意自我牺牲又自我陶醉的人…
还行，最后挺感动的。没想到美貌可以打败一切男人哈哈哈哈哈
如果不是咩酱和十元太美我真不知道怎么看下来的…
意味不明，强行为母爱感动的三个绝世好男人..在母亲节这天看得有点讽刺。油圭两个阶段的妆造能不能给点区分啊
十元女士很美，就是演技痕迹有点重，咩太美了
有余味的电影，在伦理和科学方向都有探索和很好的展开，缺点嘛女主角的生活太过平淡无趣了，不如好莱坞喜欢把剧情搞得跌宕起伏，但仍然是一部完成度很高值得肯定的作品。
搞得跟击鼓传花似的 还好全员好人 不然也太不负责任了吧
导演显然对于暴力有种并不狂热但又软性的迷恋，比自卫的艺术更像初期的兰斯莫斯，把荒诞合理化，并将现实生活中的感性抽离。克隆技术的伦理问题的就稍微拓展了那么一点，实际上还是在讽刺高速运转并不在乎个体存亡的世界的阴暗面，毫不掩饰的厌世和社会恐惧。
好久没看这么温暖感动的电影了，只是后半段没有前半段那么精彩耶
剧情老土但是咩酱和十元简直美上天了好吗！！
5.0/10 咱就是说你们演戏能不能带一点情感？
前半截痛斥亲爸的无情，后半截痛斥后妈的自私
看看作品本身，即使母爱并不完美，作为观众的我也会感动于那份“不给孩子添麻烦”的心意；即使父爱并没有那么热烈，我也会在继父笨拙的爱中酸鼻子。
故事有点悬浮，但前后美感很好，有些匠气的鸡汤。某些角色或者动机或者前后妆容都有提升的空间。
这故事好假，不过我也没抱希望就是看看美丽的咩酱，冈田健史怎么从黑晶岩到现在的……不愧……男的……塌房……
电影改篇得人设都有点怪怪的，不是很喜欢电影里开始刻画出优子是假笑和交不到朋友，小说里优子是因为大家的爱成了幸福优秀的人。永野芽郁和田中圭的演技还是很加分的，比较可惜因为时长的关系，没能多拍优子和森宫叔叔温馨的日常。
总体来说还行...一开始以为是几对关系的叙事，结果是一段关系的不断延续...虽然猜到石原最后的结局，但还是有点感动...女儿长得很好看，有点像贾静雯...
三分都给美女吧。剧情太bug了，最后为了煽情而煽情，费九牛二虎之力拉都拉不圆。剧里所有男的人均高尚天使（大冤种），十元太美以至于所有人心甘情愿的为她奉献一切，并无私爱着她用“手段”得来的女儿。可以吐槽的太多了，除了美女是真美😂
