Amor de Mãe

This is a movie where it earns its stars towards the end.... This is where it becomes different to the usual vengeance type of stories.

Maybe some viewers gave up too early ?

A mother wants revenge against the man who savagely killed her son. That's pretty expected.

However, It's not an action movie, it's about the evolution of the characters, both of them needing closure.

Hence, what makes this movie touching is that both the killer and the mother actually needed closure.

Karine Viard is great in playing the character of the mother who just can't move forward in her life so she thinks that revenge would help her.

However she learns that it's not that simple.
