Umma hits theaters on March 18, 2022.

March seems to be the month for motherhood for Asians in film and TV. With Turning Red and Pachinkoboth focusing on mother-daughter relationships, out this month, it seems fitting for Umma, the Korean word for mother, to be released too. And while its ideas of generational trauma are scary, Umma unfortunately isn’t, despite Sandra Oh doing her best with an underwhelming script.

Umma tells the story of Amanda (Sandra Oh), an electrophobic beekeeper living off the grid with her teenage daughter, Chrissy (Fivel Stewart). They’re the best of friends – doing everything together, including beekeeping, raising chickens, and reading books. But all that changes when Amanda’s uncle from Korea visits with the remains of her umma, who Amanda had abandoned years prior. He tells her that she must give her mother respect through a traditional Korean ceremony or else she will never rest. Shaken by the encounter, Amanda begins to have visions of her mother and flashbacks of the abuse she endured, which caused her to have this fear of electricity. The traumatized Amanda refuses to honor her dead mother, which causes Umma’s spirit to slowly consume Amanda and turn her into the woman she dreaded the most.
