Day 15 - Don't Cry Mommy (Korean)

 

"The Film tells the story about You-lim whose only daughter Eun-ah commits suicide after a rape by a group of male students. Because all of the suspects are minors, they can leave without the possibility of punishment by law. You-lim is so full of anger that she seeks out revenge on her own. "


Such a very sad story that could have an even better movie if it wasn't for the last part of the movie. I think Yoo Sun proved she was a great actress in this film as this is her most emotional role I have seen her in. She was quite good, it was so entertaining to see her. I think that the director managed to show why she decides to strike back but at the same time you get frustrated at how the main characters gets revenge. I think that supporting actors especially the one who played the main characters daughter was excellent. Though some of the actors didn't have enough depth especially the cop in charge of the case. As he really didn't care until he learned about his daughters role in this whole plot. It is still a great story, these events could actually happen that thought adds to the element of realism present in the film. Thus I could understand why the director chose to make her revenge plot slightly weak. I suggest you watch this movie, as it is a good one it will make you think.

3.5/5
