Somebody

The complex relationship between mothers and daughters is examined in this remarkably assured feature debut from co-directors Kim Yeo-jung and Lee Jung-chan. Their precision-tooled exercise in suspense opens with Young-eun, a swimming instructor and single mother, and So-hyun, her increasingly violent and unruly seven-year-old daughter. A truly shocking event takes us forward 20 years, and new enigmatic characters including a death-scene cleaner, played by Yuri, take centre stage. Though time has elapsed, the past lingers ominously as the pieces of this tense puzzle fall into place. The primarily female cast excels, with the talented Gi So-yoo delivering an all-time great ‘evil child’ performance as So-hyun.
