THE MOTHER AND THE BEAR (2024) opens Friday


A Korean mother flies to Canada to be with her daughter after she is put into a coma after an accident. As she spends time in a new country, she finds things out about her daughter and herself.

My first film review of a film released in the US is a charmer. This is a small little comedy drama that will, ultimately warm your heart.

To be completely honest this film doesn’t do anything that isn’t wholly unexpected it does take a few wonderful turns that make the film stand out. I will not tell you what they are because I don’t want to spoil them. The best way to describe this film is as something that will entertain the hell out of you on a cold January afternoon or evening.

Beyond that I don’t have much to say. That isn’t a knock, it’s simply that THE MOTHER AND THE BEAR does what it is supposed to do well and gets off. In an age where so many films are filled with pretentions, it’s just nice to see one that just is solid and good.

Recommended.
