Mother (2009)

A woman’s mentally disabled son is accused of murder. What is a mother to do but prove the law and the local community wrong? Director Bong Joon-ho takes another great idea, as he did with 'The Host,' and drains it of energy with excessive length and nuance. Actress Kim Hye-ja is exceptional in her award-winning role. The film’s sense of humor helps the story go down a little easier, but the movie loses momentum toward the end.
