Mother - Madeo (2:09) 2009

A mother's love for her son is universal as shown in this Korean film. Do-jun. a young man who the community refers to as  "retarded", is arrested for murdering a young woman. His mother is convinced of his innocence thinking the police has found an easy target to pin the murder. She begins her investigate thinking that her son's friend was the real murderer. As she continues her investigation, she discovers the real reason for the murder. Will all her efforts lead to his being exonerated? Mother received high praise from critics when it was initially released. It was good but it just wasn't my cup of tea. I think it lost something in the translation.
