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)
难得一见的潮汕方言电影，作为江浙人，完全听不懂的情况下，看着也挺乐呵。感觉不像是在演戏，而是一家子真真正正的生活。“见家长”的故事，在有着浓厚民俗氛围的潮汕沿海小城之下，演绎出了并不同以往俗气爱情电影的感觉。点滴生活细节，可以淡如水；但大家庭的情感，也可以醇如茶。淳朴民歌下小城的市井生活，如萤火般汇入深圳的霓虹之下，又乘着双翼奔赴钱塘湖畔，因为远方的幸福在等待。无论子女的爱情观如何与传统碰撞，无论语言、民俗对婚姻的束缚有多根深蒂固，有一点永远不会变，那就是：母亲永远是那个爱着他们的母亲。
我自己的两个问题：
3.5星吧。电影语言比较差，但剧情还是可以的（分手那段处理得不太合理），民俗的部分可以刻画再多细节再深入一些（不仅仅是作为环境、背景）。
不要被片名误导，其实是质感细腻、情节过度丝滑、情感真挚不做作的爱情/家庭片。故事不新，却因为在潮汕而显得真实又无奈；矛盾单纯，但每个人物都生动可爱；连套路的回忆杀都精巧而自然；潮汕风情和bgm都和故事完美契合～上映第二天+周末排片就已经很着急了，大家赶紧去看！
潮汕话真的太亲切了，也只有懂方言的才能get到各种笑点，中间落了几次泪，确实是泪点也挺低的，不过整体上能拍到这样的效果真的很不错呀
带着离过婚的女朋友回家见家长的故事
大赞这个妈妈的演技，每个情绪的把握，台词，都很到位，这个演技吊打很多专业的演员，后面怼脸拍都没有怕。
60 分钟后的剧情靠背景音乐各种加持推进
“可是现实没有那么多喜剧”来自我一个来自潮汕的朋友。
我现在特喜欢这种讲方言的电影，通过语言能直接传达从那片土地蒸腾而起的文化氛围。
由bgm➕楼梯。跳舞戏份。王家卫。
故事不值一提，但可能太久没看到这种了，有种复古的诚恳，一堆陌生素人演员加强了这种亲切感，当然最值得肯定的还是密集的潮汕元素，当成旅游种草看吧……
结尾手持的部分救回了中间凌乱的剪辑。后面两首插曲很赞
总算出来旅游了，开心的像个孩子，拍个不停。
潮汕方言，虽然听不懂，但也看得兴致盎然。妈妈一角活灵活现。
剧本有待打磨，演员都是素人吧有些不太行，女主的网红脸太出戏
能看到这个团队的进步，期待他们下一部作品
坐飞机里还有上一部电影的梗，你像369
三星半。温情好故事，时代冲突，家长里短，地域文化，结合而不乱。本土素人演员加分不少。
很棒的小成本电影。导演拍的很耐心也很真诚，扎扎实实讲述了一个温暖的家庭故事。丰富的潮汕元素藏着导演对家乡满满的爱，泽凯妈妈的扮演者应该有个影后的！
