Well I hadn't heard about director Soo Sung Lee's 2016 movie titled "A Way Back to Mother" prior to getting a chance in 2020 to sit down and watch it. Naturally, with it being a South Korean movie, of course I found the time to sit down and watch it, as I enjoy Asian cinema.
I must say that the movie was definitely well enough acted by the lead actress Go Won (playing Yoo-Na), despite the fact that she really didn't have all that much of a fulfilling script to work with.
I found the storyline to be rather mundane, actually bordering on being downright boring. Why? Well, there just simply wasn't enough of anything worthwhile happening throughout the course of the movie, and whatever did happen was just too generic and predictable.
It was a shame, because "A Way Back to Mother" seemed like a movie that had potential. But it just failed to be outstanding. The characters in the movie weren't properly utilized and it felt just way too shallow.
I am rating "A Way Back to Mother" a mere three out of ten stars, as it wasn't a memorable or overly enjoyable moment in the South Korean cinema.
