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.

Coming to us from South Korea, "Mother" is an astounding modern noir with some insightful themes.
