As a mystery," Mother" dishes a couple of shocking turnarounds, but its real value is a character study of a woman whose desperate love pushes her to decisive actions, even if the source of her devotion is questionable. The movie is like a puzzle, trying to figure out whodunit with the bizarre twists and turns. Hye-ja Kim gives an absolutely amazing performance playing the central role of the mom.
