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)
塔米菲贪婪，虚荣，拜金，可她真的是心怀大爱的好人。
的确影后级别的表演，当然也没有对比金秋影帝太差。这故事本身是真没意思。
妆发和表演一流 但是编导过于平庸 俩话痨神棍的大起大落 杰西卡·查斯坦的影后拿的绰绰有余。
三星给劳模姐的演技，最后看得好难过，人类是多希望有人爱着自己啊，无论是何种模样的爱，哪种爱，人类是有多厌恶自己啊，所以总是希望被谁爱着。加菲无论何时都像个大男孩。
其实该扣一星给剧本，工具人好多，挖坑还浅，前半场有种看神棍成长记的错觉。
That’s why we need to ban 传销.
在我眼里，宗教是个可恨可爱的组织，但总的来说，利用宗教做坏事的人毕竟是少数。不入任何宗教，以自己的良心来善待苍生，或许是另一种信仰？
总是跳戏蜘蛛侠，怎么破? 这个化妆厉害了 YF
刚刚发生了唐山事件就阴差阳错地看到这部，太应景。只有以女性主角才能做到把生活中的日常作为惊悚元素…细思恐极。
比较无聊的人物传记，杰西卡查斯坦表演确实很好，颁奖季应该会有所收获。
又是一部典型的好莱坞颁奖季特供传记片，形式老套，陈陈相因。虽然电影十分平庸，但是劳模姐值得！不过也不得不感叹，为了梦寐以求的奖项，劳模姐最终还是妥协了。｜5.5
颁奖季看的最差的一部，劳模姐值奥斯卡，但不应该是这部，不然真是瞎了本拉登。一切都是比着冲奥来的传记片，我真的看吐了，而且也还是关于电视电影内部圈子的。理查德好歹算体育片，里卡多起码索金的台词还算精巧，这部有什么啊。希望霍普金斯老爷子一把子把影后颁给他女儿，这才是需要更多褒奖的大女主电影。
任何展现宗教愚昧性的片子我都还算喜欢。每当想到我生活在一个无神论主政的土地上，我就更热爱这个国家一点。
盛极必衰，这是亘古不变的道理，最后还是看哭了，可能是因为劳模的精湛演技，可能是因为塔米菲和贝克人走茶凉的悲惨处境，与玫瑰人生，朱迪一样，平平整整的传记片，精湛的演技，悲惨的人生。
宗教型电影，不是题材，而是影片融入的所谓“搞笑”元素吧，显得有些不严肃……不懂或者说不明白这个形式。
不难看也不好看，剧本太平了讲述的东西都很表面。
其實最後的結局已經不重要，單是在他鄉異國陌生環境語言不通丈夫只顧著工作對妻子的無所適從，彷徨不安無動於衷已經很能給人共感，如果能結束在地下鐵可能更能留有餘韻，但最後這手反殺＋丈夫目睹更能完整的展示出這類女性電影的定性結局，倒也和導演上一部短片的結局相得益彰
规规矩矩，无聊的冲奥片，讲了半天什么都没讲明白。劳模姐终于拿影后了，太不容易了。
最怕Jessica Chastain这种努力型天才。Andrew Garfield似乎是本色出演？
美国人的宗教敛财故事，当然中国也有，就是说着说着他自己都把自己说相信了。女主角的表演让人印象深刻，男主则逊色许多。
