Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for people who'll be humming afterwards and readers who like to compare the book and the screen version. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Liked The Jungle Book? This is a good next one. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Lively and easy to follow, at 1 hr 25 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

There is a tragic history behind the painting titled The Shaman Sorceress, left in the home by a mute girl and her father. With husband and daughter by her side, Mohwa devoted her life to practicing shamanistic rites. She is rejoined by her long-estranged son, who turns out to be a converted Christian. The ensuing religious conflict between the two grows more and more intense until a tragedy strikes.
