Mother

Buoyed by Kim's powerful performance, Bong crafts a unique story of motherly love and devotion, and turns it into one fantastic thriller.

Subtle, beautiful and intelligently subversive.

If you like black humor and enjoy mystery movies with a touch of perversion, Mother is just what you need to start your weekend off on the right foot. [Full review in Spanish]

The film wears its aesthetic sophistication lightly ( ... ) Bong takes the idea of the primacy of perception over reality to its ultimate extreme.

Hye-ja Kim gives an Oscar-worthy performance. A very good, very cool piece of cinema.

'Mother' has 'American remake' written all over it.

This Korean film packs a serious punch, has a killer crossover, but sort of loses its momentum at the end.

Bong's opening and climactic scenes, in which the old woman bops around to a dance tune amid a vast field of yellow grass, are typical of the movie's cockeyed poetry.

An oddball sinister murder mystery that's much more than that.

Mother is a superbly-made thriller with some scenes which will make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck.
