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)
而如果说里卡多是妮可力挽狂澜强撑起全片，本片就是扣曼光芒闪耀绝杀了这场个人秀。她的小表情为人物注入的活力，她一再谈起女儿时复杂变化的神情，远比闪回片段更行之有效。
好喜欢这部，觉得是奥斯卡季最佳.. 随时被家庭打碎抽离的母亲，好像被破壁机搅拌一般的痛楚。那个蛇，就像是她自己，被削出来，被扭曲着。
我看的断断续续，但是还是会有共鸣。被很多其它打断，但是最终还是看完。
费兰特，你真的很会提起大家想彻底忘记的那些事，让全人类都觉得难受🥹
从《天才女友》到这部，从书到剧到电影，完全看不下去。费兰特的作品真是挑性别，太有意思了。
生与养是个交出自己，以血肉哺育下一代的过程，自我的完整性遭到蚕食，它需要耐心、技巧、最重要的是协作。当冷言冷语统统指向“母性”，本该美好的亲缘关系便扭曲为枷锁，逃离随之发生，但这不会是出路，而是对男女双方的惩罚，留下的空白阴影吞噬余下人生。作为新导演，她选择以手持和华丽配乐掩盖技巧上的捉襟见肘，企图活化呆板的叙事，无法完全激发几组人物之间的张力，释放“玩偶”这一核心意象的信息，将一个颠覆大胆却又理应如此的故事大喇喇平铺了出来。
母职困境，选择是无比奢侈的存在，要用悔恨去换。
就像一直向深海游去，一直到精疲力尽，最后发现自己距离海岸太远了。
3，不少的段落让我真心感到孩童的吵闹和恼人，所以近年自己是否适合生儿育女要值得商榷了
Btw我也好想去海边度假噢。
Maggie姐姐导演的 很细腻的感觉 好喜欢音乐
玛吉拿到了顶配埃莱娜的剧本和顶配奥利维亚的演出，但真的没用好，故事处理太混乱了，很可惜。
子女就像连成一条线的脐橙皮，散发着清香的小蛇，缠绕、箍紧...
翻译居然不是 丢失的女儿 netflix看的 但我一直看不太懂美国伦理片
The Lost Mother.
关于女人一生的惊悚片。女性不是天然的母亲，为母则刚的谎言谁来戳穿？我想离开家庭，我想再次获得性快感，我想让孩子们闭嘴不要吵闹，我想不挪位子的晒太阳，我想安静地看一场电影，我想要玩具我想恶作剧……我为这一切买过单了，可这个世界仍旧到处充满敌意。送给“女儿”的发簪最终刺进她身体里，让她逃出这个表面光鲜底部腐坏的果盘，和那点相对柔和的削橙子记忆。阵雨里收留背包客的那段，年轻女主和Alba太有化学反应了，两个人过下去不好吗……
狗都嫌的中年大妈在年轻时是个出轨并弃子的文艺女青年，看脑残影评在打婚后男女角色扮演的平等拳？妙啊！这都能打拳，脑子进屎了吗？
Maggie的导演处女作，知道想表达母亲被孩子烦燥死了，但总是闪回混乱，我不喜欢。
这个片子满脸都写着是新导演，过分的特写，乱序的时空剪辑，几个女人之间理应意味深长但是奇怪的对应关系，含蓄到不明就里的对话，试图使用但是弄巧成拙的意象运用，excessive的音乐，导演几乎是在screaming看我多懂电影，但是重要的事情都没有做到，整个片子基本的框架是散的，以至于她所有的努力就是try too hard.虽然主题是重要且nuanced的，但这个贡献也在原著，不在电影。
