In Her Place (2014 film)

The film follows a wealthy woman who moves in to the countryside home of a pregnant teenage girl and her mother and waits to adopt the unborn child.

[1] Inspired by Korean culture's strong stigma against adoption,[1] the film stars Gil Hae-yeon and Ahn Ji-hye as a mother and daughter living on a farm in South Korea.

[3] Variety's Jay Weissberg described the film as "an acutely observed psychodrama from sophomore helmer Albert Shin, powered by three sterling performances.

"[4] Radheyan Simonpillai in NOW Magazine called it "an expertly plotted drama that packs a paralyzing emotional gut punch.

"[5] The Toronto Star's Linda Barnard wrote, "Making good use of the mist-shrouded rural South Korea setting to create moody tension, Shin's film builds slowly to a shattering finale that shocks as much as it surprises.
