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)
整体的情节还是太过制式，那个长得贼眉鼠眼的运动员经纪人也没有成为反派大boss，没有反派的电影其实有点难拍，这一部只能说勉强完成任务。
很感动啊！！ 不管是母爱还是体育精神 都有被感动到
这部电影情绪调动还是过猛了些，亲友中有类似的残疾家庭，更明白生活的艰辛与不易。同工同酬道出了体育运动员背后的辛酸。奥运光环之后的运动员，也只有极少数能在体育的道路上继续前行。而其它大多数褪去光环，成为普通人。何况残疾运动员。
故事是好故事 但刻意煽情的音乐 生硬的剪辑 真的不好看
北京冬残奥会开幕式当天看的，电影聚焦于残疾人运动员，叙事上不止有运动生涯取得的成绩，更突出了残疾运动员生活困境，着眼于此，很好的立意。有些地方太煽情啦，但是母爱真的好伟大
二十多年苏妈的脸没啥变化，张继聪的老年妆又很到位，所以这是啥设定。少年和青年两位演员真的很棒，新生代了不起，希望以后继续看到。还有老baby钱小豪又是出现在花絮时间长过正片……这次很遗憾影院没有排原声场次，哭泣。
3.5
尚可吧，就是被这样的妈妈管的会有点窒息，但又能理解一点。
真实故事改编，挺感人的，吴君如演的真好，母爱很伟大，残疾人运动员太不容易了
不知道为什么，看着吴君如开头红着眼睛说“救”的那一刻，就难以共情。
还挺感人的，有好几处竟然想哭，但是化妆了，忍住了😂对于运动员和残疾人的现状都有了深入的描绘，还是一个很完整的故事呢，缺点可能就是煽情画面部分有点刻意了。#上海曹杨影城
发掘了夺冠运动员后的一地鸡毛。有点知名度的尚且如此，更不用说那些没被命运垂青的默默无闻者。
以后要多关注残障人士，蛮真实的感受。吴君如演技真的好，一开头就给我整得有点感动。
很平的故事，也很感人的故事。HK真是个神奇的地方，致敬。
电影完全没有进入一个残障运动员真实生活的内部，无论剧本，演员，台词，服装，像极了塑料味极重的装饰，不仅在在痛苦与煎熬的外部滑行，而且在试图制造感动的过程里，因为浮贴，隔离，而不断消解真实事件的感人力量。
从后面追上去
情感烘托还可以，但中间有几幕时间跨度大的部分有点碎
有赖于行云流水的人物与叙事切换，影片摆脱了母爱题材的刻意煽情或运动员光环，平实镜头下是向内触摸苏桦伟母子在生活中的踉跄。没有豪言壮举，却尽是被现实生活追逐的无奈。呼吁同工同酬、残疾家庭困境、冠军窘迫生计等社会问题的介入，使镜头探向母爱或运动之外，打破唯金牌论，揭示来自社会制度的捆绑，透视再多的金牌也无法拯救真实的贫穷，成为运动题材的破局之作。
更比偉仔本人更似殘障人士。
煽情的点能get到但没戳到😅叙事感觉抓不到重点，为题材+1🌟
