Winner of the Golden Lion at the 2012 Venice Film Festival, Pieta is the acclaimed film from the celebrated and controversial Korean director Kim Ki-Duk (Bad Guy; Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... And Spring; 3-Iron). In this intense and haunting story, a loan shark living an isolated and lonely existence uses brutality to threaten and collect paybacks from desperate borrowers for his moneylender boss. He proficiently and mercilessly collects the debts without regard to the pain he causes his countless victims. One day, a mysterious woman appears in front of him claiming to be his long-lost mother. After coldly rejecting her at first, he gradually accepts her in his life and decides to quit his cruel job and seek a decent, redemptive life. However, he soon discovers a dark secret stemming from his past and realizes it may be too late to escape the horrific consequences already set in motion from his previous life.

Review For Movie Pieta
There is a touch too much of the handheld camera, but in general one senses that the very quality of the way this film was made is one of its justifications for being and for its raw moments.Stanley Kauffmann-The New Republic
After being subjected to disturbing scenes of abject cruelty, rape and torture, my reactions shifted from squeamish revulsion to a reluctant yet growing appreciation for Kim's thematic ambition.
Jeff Shannon-Seattle Times
Fascination returns at the stirring climax, when the plot neatly twists and the film's apparently simple message turns deeper, and blacker.
Rick Groen-Globe and Mail
A mother's love for her child takes on brutal new meaning in Pieta, a film by Kim Ki-duk that's as hard to watch as it is to forget.
Peter Howell-Toronto Star
Like many South Korean films, revenge is a major theme here, although the way Kim handles it is particularly subtle and surprising: It sneaks up on you.
Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald
May not rank with the operatic madness of Park Chan-wook, or the visceral overkill of Kim Jee-woon, but if you're still not sick of feeling sick, then Pieta might be the movie for you.
William Goss-Film.com
It's compelling stuff, a film that starts out as one thing but subtly shifts to become something else entirely.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune
Kim crafts a quietly powerful, character-driven morality tale that is less about the relationship between mother and son than it is about money and happiness.
Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com
A gangster story with a latent conscience.
Katherine Monk-Canada.com
The film's big reveal may not come as that much of a surprise; you may figure out where it's going well before the end. But it's the getting there that is, if not exactly fun, then certainly hypnotic.
Cary Darling-Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
[A] lurid but undeniably powerful story, and the lead performances are compelling.
Frank Swietek-One Guy's Opinion
By the time the last dark plot twist rolls around, any dollop of emotional connection has been diluted in a sea of empty unpleasantness.
Marc Mohan-Oregonian
Ki-duk's having his cake, and chewing it with his mouth open, too.
Andrew Wright-Portland Mercury
Wrenching Oedipal tragedy not for the casual viewer
Marty Mapes-Movie Habit
No comfort in this Pieta
Robert Denerstein-Movie Habit
The film contains some memorable moments, and a pair of fine performances, but it's hard not to feel that it would have proved more successful if it had stayed on the path it was heading down for the first forty minutes or so.
Oliver Lyttelton-The Playlist
The performances of these two leads are compelling and the Cheonggyecheon area can almost be seen as another character in Kim's morality tale.
Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle
Kim has a very specific wringer he intends to usher his pawns through and a particular course he's plotted to it. Consequently, a complex, troubling character study slowly becomes a borderline conventional narrative.
