The 50 Best Movies of 201011 of 50
40. 'Mother'
It is great to see a filmmaker who is willing to try something new each time out. This definitely holds true for Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-ho. After making the awesome monster movie 'The Host', he returns with a strange but entirely appealing crime thriller. The tale of an overbearing mother who will do anything to clear the name of her son, is an odd but captivating character study that goes to some weird places but is always confident. Lead actress Kim Hye-ja's name is mentioned in early awards banter for very good reason.
