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)
感觉还行，愿疫情早日散去。(7.0/10)
喜欢黄渤，多给一星，剧情太无聊，浪费电影票
艰难的日子我们战胜了。感谢那段日子的你和我。
作为一部描写疫情的电影，却并没有侧重描写医护工作者，而是聚焦在各行各业各个阶层的平凡人中，能看到你我的影子，虽然并不太喜欢这样又乱又杂的故事剪辑，但还是有被煽情到的故事的，比如老医生的黄昏恋。这两年多来，失去了很多很多，但待到春暖花开，你我终将相见……22.03.03
剧情也太碎了，台词尬到天际，全靠演员演技在撑
剧情看起来都很平淡 但是总有几个很泪目的点 有被戳到 龙哥真的好帅 贾玲绝了和谁都搭！
最是那一瞬间的温柔，希望我年纪大了，也像老太太一样轻盈丰富
真后悔看这个，人物行为逻辑完全失真，串联僵硬，这也能算电影吗？
温情中带着笑与泪，薛导用独特的叙事手法展现了疫情之下普通人的坚守与付出。勇哥、武哥做志愿者忙前忙后，谢奶奶重新拿起手术刀，叶老师用琴音鼓励孩子们，晓晓和那对医生夫妻坚守前线...所有的人都在努力活着，想要尽早战胜疫情，可还是有人永远留在了那里。就像歌词里唱到每次相见碰面都是纪念，每句再见都像道别，很多人还没来得及好好说再见就真的再也见不到了，所以，下一次，如果可以拥抱，就别再用语言
这个不是纪录片，如此零碎，故事不成故事。纪录片，也没这么拍。承载所谓现实的意义，而不是所谓的电影艺术，就很死亡的想法。而且，贾玲的感情线很尬，OK
不错，四个故事相互交织，冲击点是这边还说着带豆皮，一转身就拿到了祭拜的照片，收不到叶老师的回信，已经感觉到了他是没了，疫情啊，让本来没时间的人变得更少时间。
一度想睡觉，怪不得旁边情侣都闲到吵架了。。。
总之就是披着疫情的伪爱情片，好多地方我都忍不住喊，口罩带好行吗？年前没啥能看的电影了，这个算是可以一看吧。结尾的合唱很好听，有点加分。
尽管几乎可以猜到所有的剧情走向，可还是忍不住红了眼眶。这场集体和浩劫带来的创伤需要时间和温暖去治愈。
疫情之下，大家团结一致，相互帮助，这才是中国人。
比中国医生好看多了。人物更加自然，如果能少一些主旋律会更好。
希望2022一切顺利吧。演员功力深厚，剧本一塌糊涂
但凡我看了一点剧情简介我也绝不会去看这部电影的。| 2021.12.31 鲁商中心，齐纳国际影城。
片子过度煽情的地方太多了，旁边有女生哭得稀里哗啦，铁石心肠的我只是眼眶热了热，而且是在放不煽情的段落时。
而且作为抗疫电影，实在是不严谨，黄渤作为志愿者，口罩竟然时戴时不戴，还这么乐呵。当年的志愿者很多是被感染了的，朋友因为身边志愿者确诊，爸妈直接就让她在家隔离不要出去了。电影里面都没有展示出来。
