March 22nd, 2010
Mother took the Award for the Fest Film. It really is. I was shocked after seeing it, and the movie left me speechless. Firs I wanted to see this for Won Bin (who turn out to be great in it, I just remembered him as a sweet aspiring assassin^^), and Kim Hye Ja (whom I admired in drama Goong).
Movie is gritty, depressing at some point and moving. Great acting, marvellous editing and script.
