Her Mother

About This Movie

So, 'Her Mother' really dives into some heavy themes, you know? It’s about Harumi, this 43-year-old businesswoman, who's trying to grapple with the loss of her daughter, Michiyo, who was killed by her husband. The pacing is quite deliberate, which gives you time to really sit with the emotional weight of the story. Harumi's conflict over the death penalty brings some intense moral questions into play—like, can one truly forgive? The performances are raw and really pull you in, especially the way Harumi processes her grief. It’s not flashy or over-the-top; rather, it opts for a more subtle atmosphere that makes you think. It’s distinct in how it challenges the viewer to reflect on justice and forgiveness without giving easy answers.
