A mother lives quietly with her twenty-eight-year-old son, Do-joon, providing herbs and acupuncture to neighbors. One day, a girl is brutally murdered, and Do-joon is charged with the killing. Now, it's his mother's call whether to prove him innocent or to leave him imprisoned.
Director Bong Joon-ho (Memories of Murder, The Host) is back with yet another thriller and once more shows how to do a compelling and dark thriller with that hint of morbid humor. Much credit goes to Hye-ja Kim, who plays the titular character in a great, sympathetic performance. Her struggle to prove her son's innocence forces her to walk a very thin line between right and wrong, and the more closer she get's to the truth the more blurred that line becomes.
Genre: Crime/Drama/Thriller
