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)
与其说是喜剧，更应该说是温馨类的影片吧，最打动我的反而是出轨男和他老婆派出来监视的两个人最后成了朋友～泊车男和女明星最后没在一起的结局也很合理。
勉强七分，而且在我看来，超过原版的评分是不公正的，因为法版叙事更加顺畅，喜剧就应该简练……
翻完，没啥意思，主要女主颜值打扮我没惊艳到吧
最后看的几度哽咽。这不仅仅是梅艳芳的故事，这是那个时代的一段历史。
有点像纪录片找人来还原当时场景，其实不管找谁来演主角都不会让大家满意的～王丹妮演年轻时代比后半好些
其实核心反而是在各个种族（尤其是移民族裔）的和解，这个充满噱头的故事只是一个表层
剧情老套，还算搞笑，属于爆米花电影了……拉美裔和黑人都照顾到了，顺便用爱与家庭来贯穿整个剧情。
很久没有看过这么温暖的荒诞喜剧 不同生活不同阶级所带来的巨大差异 但又能在彼此身上找到一些安慰陪伴与鼓励 妈妈作为一个平凡又伟大的母亲葬礼上的演讲感人至深 共同惩罚渣男的合作大快人心 全篇节奏故事都很精彩 只可惜是翻拍电影 小维文的巨型路一步一个脚印 但感觉不如之前有灵气
应该是演员不是神似形似 刚好让每一次梅艳芳出现的时候 都让你心头一紧 这样的现实与表演的对立 何尝不是一种巧思 我看的导演剪辑的剧版 应该好过剧场版
我并不是她的粉丝，但是梅姐的歌和演的电影，我大部分听过、看过，这就是一代巨星的影响力吧。
2021.11.15，上海百丽宫影城（LUXE陆家嘴中心店），李梦楠。 流水账叙事结构，想说的太多，全部只能浅尝辄止，深入不下去。观众需要自己做很多关于背景和梅艳芳的功课，加入观众对那个时代的滤镜加持，确实感人，但是如果跳出这些背景的烘托，纯从电影艺术的角度来说，本片仅仅及格。
流水账叙事的多个片段，观众的感动来自人物本身的魅力与传奇，又恰好与时代大脉络融合（水灾回归疫情等），于是发出感叹，明星华丽外表下总是孤独寂寞悲伤无奈，而现实担当也是珍贵而充满力量。谢谢梅姐，永远有人记得你！ 电影整体及格，服道词细节还原度极高，虚实影像自然切换，人物关系猜测更贴符合现实…对导演敬意油然而生。虽然缺点很多，但相信已尽力而为，辛苦，感谢！
1.渣男富商面对情人和老婆的能够左右逢源，求生智慧拉满，却记不得前一天掌掴过的男主，服务人员在有钱人眼里都是透明的。
拍的太温暖了点，巨星是烟花般灿烂的，也是极端个性化和情绪化的，不需要标榜成好人。
"I wanna be with someone who feels like they deserve the best of everything."
鼓起勇气承受，我想人总要向着希望走。
7分 可以和男主演的《落水婚姻》一起看😊 套路爱情片拍成这样不错了
还可以，剧情有老套的部分，但总体呈现不算无聊。半夜看也看完了。“Well done”
确实不能抱着想看到公民凯恩的态度来看这部电影
2022年都过去了大半年 为什么还会出现这种搁80年代都觉得老套且太不真实的题材？？？
