South Korean mother lives with her son, who has a learning disability. When he is arrested for murdering a school girl, she is determined to prove his innocence. Bong Joon-ho's subtle crime drama is wonderfully written and beautifully directed. Kim Hye-ja is excellent as the mother who will stop at nothing to help her son.
