A boy's best friend is his mother. An absolute master work from director Bong Joon-ho, who manages to shock me with its ending reveal, even though it shouldn't, as it was obvious from a distance but the impact still surprised me.

Didn’t work for me at all. There’s a core here that works–mother drawn to extreme lengths to protect the son accused of a crime. But the first 45 minutes dragged without me building a connection to any of the characters, so then I didn’t feel invested in much that came after. There were some strange editing choices and some odd plot elements and….I could go on. It just wasn’t my movie.

3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Mother’: 1. Wow. They got me. I didn’t see that entire conclusion coming from a mile away — and I totally feel like I should have. That’s the sign of a good film. 2. I’m really enjoying Bong Joon-ho as a storyteller. After seeing three of his films, I’m getting a better sense of his style and the quirky moments. I look forward to what he does next. 3. The ending - with the kid they found guilty for the crime - was heart-wrenching.

The police seem convinced of his guilt and her lawyer suggests he be detained in an hospital - rather than a prison - so More

You could say Mother is not just a murder mystery, but a tragedy mystery, and the way all the character beats and broken pieces of their circumstances come together in the third act is just flawless. It's the other side of the coin for Memories of Murder, deconstructing the assumption that the p More
