Review of Umma

Umma (2022)
2/10
Almost Fell Asleep

I was the only person in the theater and that should tell you something. It was a 1:30pm showing on a Friday but still ... The movie goes downhill right after the first scene and never gains momentum after that. The rest of it is a flashback to what had occurred years earlier but it never comes back to explain what happened in that first scene. Sandra Oh was Sandra Oh but she did not have much to work with here.

This movie was like an extended version of the Progressive Insurance commercials about growing up to be your parent (because this is about the 'mother'). There was maybe 1 scary moment in the entire movie.

The movie focused more on the living mother/daughter dynamic and a culture that was being ignored until it was forced upon them. Truly a waste of time and money.
