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)
家庭情节剧依靠情节驱动，意味着我们看到了什么，它就讲了什么，对人、事、时代欠缺更深及更多层次表达，余味是没有的。诸多细节太过于熟悉，明显拉近了我和它的距离，更容易让我沉浸其中，记忆被深深触动。电影隐含了几许观念的冲突，成为检验观众立场的试纸，体罚和罚站、强压式教学、家庭沟通模式，假设你是外来者，周边对你的排斥、嘲讽、欺负……我对这些一点也无法容忍，始终站在女儿的立场上并且毫不犹豫。（台湾社会进入良性轨迹，只微调细处就会变得越来越好。）
这才应该得金马最佳剧情片和最佳女主角吧！数度眼眶泛泪！
过于贴近议题的刻意，用对白推进剧情却不见人物有过真正的沟通。等垃圾车和结尾两处喜欢，其余的乏味了点。
感觉比《瀑布》差好多，家庭的框支起来，结果不管是内里填的内容还是外在背景都表象化和程式化的。表现中式家庭的好电影太多了，这片虽然是导演亲身经历，演员表演也中规中矩，但仍然显得平庸。
*最后十分钟崩溃哭到无法呼吸
爆感同身受😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭为他人（家人）着想总是需要敏感 敏感就容易受伤；但自私也容易受伤。家人与地域的认同过程里 也是爱和恨的并行
越来越觉得生小孩跟开盲盒差不多，开到这种倒霉孩子的确会被气到得乳腺癌。
3.5。面對極具話題性和文化意義的議題，阮鳳儀在還原時代氛圍之外沒能達到基本的完成度。在相對華彩的「起承」之後，影片留下了俗套且破碎的「轉」以及空洞且洩氣的「合」。
很别扭，拧巴，又很常见的母女关系，大概是许多女孩都会经历的一段。不过可以肯定的是，母亲真的很爱你，即使有时候你觉得不够好，但她真的在努力的做到最好。
妈妈本来就因为生病一堆事，还有个不懂事的逆子，就会中伤身边的人，家庭真是太烦了，各种特定情况，会让人崩溃的。
如果不是SARS 我可能还看不出来这是什么年代的戏 不论台湾还是美国 二十年来都挺遥远的 也就周杰伦的那首《安静》 二十年来一直不变地流行着
生活啊，总是容易以爱的名义错过着
《美国女孩》
单调却真诚，倾注了沉甸甸的生命体验，刻骨铭心。每一次争吵后混杂着温情和痛苦的余震，对身边人乃至对自己的恨意的反复回荡，当这些真实可感甚至能唤醒记忆的情感的时候，再多技巧都显得多余。
跟瀑布一样都聚焦于疫情下的母女关系，演员很细腻真实，整体算是流畅好看，但是结尾有些仓促粗糙，包括铺陈多时的演讲与跨文化议题嘎然而止，情绪得不到像瀑布的蓝色幕布拉掉一样的释放。
非典时期，台湾也是深受影响的。也是对当下疫情的一种观照。
这才应该得金马最佳剧情片和最佳女主角吧！数度眼眶泛泪！
硬要雞蛋裡挑骨頭的話，覺得吵架戲碼都較為單一，銜接到結尾豁然開朗讓人有點買不了單，但絕對是4.5佳作。
又是结局没结好，铺开了一个很好的人物关系结果到后来就这样草草结束了，什么都没深入展开….但前面真的挺好的，很台湾
哪怕芳仪与母亲间的关系如此剑拔弩张，电影的叙述也静水流深。方郁婷的好不可否认，但阮凤仪的女性视角也为影片投注了更多的温柔，相信这个叫「仪」的女孩多少也带着导演的私人记忆吧……
