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)
恶魔的侵入是如此顺理成章，剧情不拖沓不造作。恐怖外衣下，揭露的还是原生家庭问题，在这样的家庭里，黑暗战胜了纯真。很真实，我很喜欢。
挺悲伤一故事 女孩死去 鸟怪取代 没人在意女主的感受 这样家庭下的孩子都是悲哀的
造型不错，就是北欧性冷淡风格太清新了，血浆又很收敛
嗯，创意蛮好，拍出来还是无聊的
怪物的设计也是颇有心思，大眼长嘴的小鸟造型，看起来真的十分惊悚，也不知女主怎么克服的了能和它近距离拍戏的，我隔着屏幕都觉得毛骨悚然。
妈妈脑残 儿子妈宝 爸爸窝囊 女儿有病 一家子凑齐了
要是不瞎改什么偷画具和集体舞弊什么鬼的就好了
这样的妈妈太窒息了，不作为的爸爸同样令人绝望
让AI看一堆A24系文艺恐怖片后提取共通元素，从中选取大部分因子然后自动化生成一部新的，就和本片估计差不了多少
还挺喜欢近些年北欧拍的奇幻类电影，有想象力，有人文思考。
郑渊洁童话拍成电影就没有其他人什么事了，童年的梦想。。。尤其后期那些，生化保姆病毒集中营 之类
小女孩和她妈妈真的蛮漂亮的，就是剧情有点无趣，唯一的看点就畸形家庭
背景音乐不错
小三竟然是片子里唯一的正常人┓(´∀`)┏
要恐怖没恐怖，伦理倒是充满全片三观碎一地，结局没全家去世等于bad ending。
还是太刻板了 不如男生贾里女生贾梅那种可爱 质感也不太行
前段时间七岁娃娃在电影院看的，回来说都看哭了，后来又看了这本书（我也蹭看了），电影没书好看 @2021-11-21 12:00:20
畸形的家庭/母女关系下，偶发的饲养怪物成为一种善/恶培养皿，而结果其实是不证自明的，也是符合「父母皆祸害」的观点。
这种隐喻片还挺有趣的，借着小姑娘养育一只小怪兽的故事来讲亲子关系、家庭教育以及前青春期的小女孩。
不被妈妈满意的我自我孕育出一个被妈妈满意的我
