Hope (2013) ✪ 〈NEWEST〉

: Unlike many crime dramas that focus on the act itself, Hope focuses on the long, painful recovery process.

: Eight-year-old So-won is brutally assaulted on her way to school by a drunk man.

: The film emphasizes the strength of family bonds and how a supportive community can help a survivor reclaim their life.

: It provides a biting critique of a legal system that allows a perpetrator's intoxication to serve as a mitigating factor for a lighter sentence. ⭐ Critical Highlights ‎‘Hope’ review by Noah Cassidy • Letterboxd
