The thriller of the year, hands down, Mother is about as satisfying as narrative cinema gets. (Jonathan Romney, The Independent)
...A suspense thriller, a gripping psychological study and, like his 2003 movie Memories of Murder, a witty subversion of the forensic-procedural genre. (Peter Bradshaw, Guardian)
