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)
圣诞气氛营造得还不错，一边打破stereotype一边制造出更多的cliché. 看到结尾女主拿着纸板道歉只想说大可不必，love actually真是被碰大瓷了。
挺好，希望这样的片子以后能越来越多。像欧阳万成这样的亚裔男主，别说白妹了，能在tinder上被亚裔女性匹配估计都呛。但稀有不代表不正常，以前是太不正常了。就电影本身而言，普通的网飞大数据类型片，主打观众应该是亚裔？
Killing time for Christmas Eve 🎄🎄
很yy很圣诞很合家欢的一部片子，但现实生活中似乎白女+亚男的搭配不多？《真爱至上》真是每到圣诞季就会被拉出来鞭尸233333妮娜虽然胶原蛋白流失了不少但身材还是能打的，为了她多加一星。爱不是完美，是真实。
A movie to watch when you’re experiencing your migraine.
驴唇不对马嘴的剧情竟然还给我看感动了。搞笑的是从头看到尾一直以为是Lily Collins演的，直到看到演员表，竟然是吸血鬼日记女主。
很甜蜜耶 我喜欢！love actually真的不是我的type，还不如这个hh
really surreal and silly but kinda feel we need it
神tm……什么鬼，看到最后的致敬我好尴尬😅，但特么还是泪目了，被感动到了一丢丢………………
6.0(5⃣️)，相当的俗气，几乎是此类型题材的常规套路了，男女主角之间完全没有火花可言。虽然亚裔和欧美相爱并组建家庭的设定确实很好，但是影片真的一般/ Nina Dobrev的颜变成这样了omg
很好看，不知道为什么评分低。主角演技挺好，还挺自然，挺有意思。女主唱k那块太尴尬了！所以有趣相称的灵魂更重要是么，两人圣诞节合唱的那首改编的歌曲蛮好听的
的确很多女孩子喜欢欧阳这种外表一般但是暖暖的男的
哈哈 我喜欢这样的好莱坞政治正确。亚洲男终于配了白女。这样的圣诞爱情喜剧谁不爱看！网飞第一也不是白拿的。居然还有一个月就又圣诞了啊！
Lake Placid does not have that kind of an airport!!! says someone who spent 2 years of high school there......然后很多场景明显也不是在Lake Placid......但看到有些熟悉的地方还是很怀念高中时光诶！虽说是非常cheesy的圣诞电影，但致敬Love Actually还挺不错（就是喜欢不行吗！）
开头不错，竟也好看，从飞去lake落地开始就垮掉了
这种叙事清楚有趣，有点笑料，又有点感动的romcom最适合冬天窝在家，捧杯自制奶茶抱着电脑看了～喜欢Grandpa蜡烛。romcom其实想这样让人看着舒服就挺不容易的了 ps感觉喜剧人特别适合演romcom，可能之后李诞志胜也可以尝试～
贺岁片 轻松娱乐别太认真 不然还以为回到上个世纪 没有视频通话这个选项
没有出彩的剧情和值得回味的记忆点，感觉爱上才是狗血
就一般般看这个名字就是的要讲什么 但是有那么一瞬间get到了欧阳万成（其实太空部队也有几个瞬间get
最后love actually那段还不错 Christmas vibe加持 不算特别难看 始终还是很难相信女主会喜欢男主
