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)
挺无趣平淡的剧情，到最后也没有解释黑色电话与反派的来源，整部电影就是男孩在几个NPC的帮助下干掉了反派，然后与妹妹重逢，妹妹的通灵似乎对结局没有任何影响……

一旦开始重复自己就很没意思了，这么套路的剧情全靠宋康昊力挽狂澜。
这一个多月以来才意识到我们生在和平岁月这代人对战争态度的傲慢和天真。不明白点对点精准打击只是个看上去很美包装后的概念，没见过枪炮，没见过尸体，没见过死亡，没见过应激创伤，没见过销烟后的残垣断壁。可以不了解，但至少别丧失敬畏
Alex Høgh Andersen真的是颜值和实力兼备的演员
5分。其实核心还是要勇敢，既有校园暴力，又有家庭暴力，总是要站出来。不过剧情逻辑太随意了。犯罪背景又加了一堆通灵，太奇怪了。小女孩演得很好。

唯一新颖的地方，可能只是因为是丹麦拍的，丹麦很少拍这种战争回忆录。但人物处理太草率了，特蕾莎修女似乎能看到一个很深很暗的影子，但真就跟个影子一样一晃而过，没啥特别之处了。
还能不能出来点好看的恐怖片了！恐怖片迷好饥渴啊！！！
导演是个合格的导演，有一些创作在里面。故事太差，编剧也没能挽回。
“对社会失望却对人与人之间充满温情”，真是说到位了，跟大家的想法不太一样，是枝裕和的批判其实一点没少，两位警察的态度尤其是裴斗娜“虽然现实中，不会发生这样的事情”，和iu在天台的良心质问。其实片子从海进一出来就朝着童话故事的方向发展，摩天轮，宋康昊和女儿餐馆对话，关灯感谢你的诞生，这些戏都美好的不像话，可是那又怎么样呢？这么好的视听与其说是导演的水土不服，不如说是他对以往真正过分煽情的韩影的轻调教。
把他当个恐怖片吧，发现对凶手刻画太少，片子也不够惊悚。把他当个少年成长片，瞬间豁然开朗。
惊悚恐怖片的外壳下是一个男孩成长蜕变成男人的故事，从胆小懦弱变得强大，男孩跟着朋友一起向前、向后、挥拳出击的那一段很感人——“Some day I have to stand up for myself.”——“"Someday" is today.”男孩，今天你要为自己而战。
看完感觉男孩就是被一路剧透所以才能幸存下来的...
把这么严肃的题材拍的这么艺术，丹麦也算是有独创精神。然而避讳盖世太保主题，却着重描写英军误炸的学校，其实有些别有用心。丹麦当年闪电投降，为纳粹鞍前马后其实历史自有评判，不过就算是撇开政治主题，本片仍然不好看，最多给5分！
6.2/10 把电话作为通灵媒介也太…俗了吧
印象深刻的开始误炸参加婚礼的汽车。以及最后伊娃妈妈的奔跑。
受害者电话所勾勒出的人际关系和幽暗封闭的地下室产生了一种别样的氛围，是成长的烦恼变种，其他方面一般般
开头就暗示了大英皇家空军是瞎子。上帝是不是在捡铅笔，真的是戳心。
是是枝裕和但又不是，没有水土不服但却有，所以童话就是结局。
