"Buoyed by Kim's powerful performance, Bong crafts a unique story of motherly love and devotion and turns it into one fantastic thriller."—From the Front Row

"Bong's opening and climactic scenes, in which the old woman bops around to a dance tune amid a vast field of yellow grass are typical of the movie's cockeyed poetry."
—Chicago Reader

Circumstantial evidence indicates the son is responsible, and he becomes the prime suspect in the police investigation.
