Few directors have ever managed such a command of disparate tones in the same film as Bong seems to with every single one of his. Mother is one of his most twisty and elaborate, with Bong constantly pulling out the rug from under his audience and characters alike as new and shocking developments pile up to the point of near-absurdity.

Very into the forceful visual language (sweeping wide shots vs deep claustrophobic shots) on display here. Honestly couldn't get into this at all but may give it another try now that I'm a fully converted member of the #BongHive

A well made movie with good acting but the pacing was a bit too slow and while there were many twists and turns the film lacked tension. The lack of tension and slow pace really made the film seem a lot longer than it was. By about the 95 minute mark I could feel myself getting antsy. Ultimately while I really liked the final twist I found the ending to be very unsatisfying.
