Mother and Daughters (2008)

I couldn´t believe this movie has no review. I think it´s underrated, so I decided to write one.

Regarding the story, its a light mixture of melo and comedy, I would rather say it´s more melo. It problematizes the life of those less happy ones, who are imprisoned in mental institution due their illnes. Have they the right to live their own lifes behind the walls of these institutions, if they are harmless for society, despite of the resentment of their own families? May they find their happiness out there? Isn´t the society to unjust and overflown with prejudices to them? These were some of the questions which cropped up in my head, while I was watching this movie.

The cast was from the beginning guarantee of great acting, especially Kim Soo Mi and Lee Sang Woo.

I have to disappoint those seeking action in this movie. The movie is more focused on the inner lifes of the movie characters, so it seems sometimes more static or slow. Despite of this fact, it remains great and worthy to watch, cause it has got its own unique depth.
