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)
当pta拍了一部看似挺有趣且门槛不怎么高的片子，而我却几乎无法在主角成长亦或是情感变化中找到任何情感共振是挺遗憾的（部分转折有点突兀），后半段也只在欣赏一些光影啊调度啊还有恰到好处的配乐等他的强项，但还是很喜欢
过于松散混乱了。。。奔跑前段很日式小清新。。。歌倒是蛮好听的
how life sucks and shines，一点点的共同回忆，无意义的小确幸（甚至可能不是愉悦的事），堆叠起来也许就是甜甜的 开篇长镜头太赞，想起《大玩家》，或许是一脉相承 他和她都看见了对方头上的bling bling吧，真好
整部都在讲被冒犯的青春，循环于年龄差带来的自我证明和逃避。最惊喜的部分是在两人某些达成共识的时候都呈现着同样的少年气，又会归于泄气后的心理上的分歧。既微妙又准确
那些莫名其妙的部分是在时代的蛊惑和压力下每个人头脑中都会出现的摇摆、极端、叛逆和报复，放在一个在世俗标准下令人大跌眼镜的爱情故事里恰如其分。男主如果是18岁或20岁，故事的浪漫主义色彩将不复存在。反而是政治事件的标记太过明显，令人感到一种专制，一种目的性和野心太盛怀旧。很多人以完全颠倒的标准来评价这部电影，便更加没意思。
就好比说是一个高级裁缝你让他去做娃娃
不错！vigorous、colorful。就是电话铃声太像起床铃。有些片段想起了pta给他前女友拍的音乐mv。背景乐好听
PTA借简单人物，小镇图景，加之高超导演技法
看开头以为是like sunday like rain那种，看到最后原来真的是true true love（很难不代入一些普世道德观，以及不理解为什么会揽下那么多奖项，全片本人唯一激动之处在听到life on Mars的时刻，日剧跑虽然动人但看过太多太多了
奇奇怪怪的片名，故事倒是清新流畅，舒服的复古调调，但不管是忠犬也好，备胎也好，这不太像是爱情。几个客串很惊喜。
非常失望。没有我期待的the valley里小小的人。也没有我期待的the valley里巨大的事。要知道Victory Boulevard是会下青蛙雨的。Gary跟Alana要电话号，Alana说了串七位的数字。电话号不该是十位么？哦对这是个关于the valley的故事，所以是默认省略了那三位数的区号？可这是个七十年代的故事，the valley现在的区号是八十年代才开始启用的。818。如今我有了这座城市的密码，却被PTA的LA故事锁在了门外。感觉被背叛了，好伤感
一开始想说除了女主腿其他都不行，没想到从一半往后越来越上头，舒缓的准确的刻画了一个年代，很重的道理浅浅的表达。
PTA最轻盈的作品，依旧充斥着奇怪和迷人的味道
看起来很随意的样子，反派无脑低幼，只能说是个半成品吧。
这才是“小马宝莉”电影版该有的水准，比2017年的2D电影版好上许多。3D版与时俱进，不仅有手机自拍、手机直播，还有跳舞机，非常接地气，这样的改编紧跟时代步伐，让几十年的老IP焕发了新的活力。
I don’t understand, why make this?
不敢相信，这是pta自己的本子拍出来的....演技最好的竟然是抽烟的面试官
剪辑、构图、运镜都是一流的，故事差点意思，后半段水时长的情节太多
挺好看，如果演员颜值高些估计一堆打4星5星的。
最后，小公马真的拉。
