Luca D I love the fact that the mother being so eerily devoted to her son gets annoying very quickly. Anyone can relate. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/20/24 Full Review Andrea C Ancora un capolavoro di Bong Joon Ho che torna nell'ambiente del meraviglioso "Memorie di un assassino" con una storia tanto simile come "episodi" quanto diversa come sceneggiatura e risvolti. Una madre pronta a combattere contro tutto e tutti, senza badare alle evidenze ma soprattutto senza avere nessun tipo di capacità investigativa. E quando le sequenze sembrano portare ad un lieto fine piuttosto ovvio, avvengono una serie di capovolgimenti e di sconvolgimenti tali da lasciare senza fiato lo spettatore, spiazzato ed inerme verso le rivelazioni che giungono in rapida sequenza negli ultimi minuti. Il finale dolce amaro colpisce ancora una volta, vero punto di forza di un meraviglioso regista in grado di non sbagliare un singolo epilogo in tutta la sua lunga carriera. Un'opera da guardare e da assaporare lasciandosi trasportare dalla trama e dalla protagonista, senza porre resistenza al moto continuo della sua indagine. Capolavoro. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/11/24 Full Review Audience Member So…Asian movies often have a less-than subtle way of portraying people with disabilities, and this is no exception - lots of dramatic and slapstick scenes of the “slow” person doing stupid things. But then it also had some wild twists and dark turns that said so much more about the mother than I was expecting, soy feelings were mixed by the end. It actually got darker and more interesting as it went along, and, unusually, the end was actually more compelling than the beginning.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/24 Full Review Alec B You expect shocking revelations but instead are given something much sadder and frankly more engaging. Bong Joon-ho is the master at these kinds of narratives, giving the audience what it needs instead of what they want and then convincing them that the ending is exactly what they wanted in the first place. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/24 Full Review S. C It is an unforgettable piece thanks to the writing and directing by Bong. Doesn't disappoint and surprises with its story and the way it is told. The cast shows skill and raw emotion, especially the lead role. The cinematography is admirable. It is shot creatively and at times very involving. Beautiful score. The locations for the sets are chosen just perfectly. You feel the directors vision as always, with his talent of successfully putting multiple genres into one and creating characters which are realistic and shockingly relatable.
