User reviews
This movie is a mixture of many social topics that concern us, being organized coherently into a deeply touching narrative. It reveals many imperfections of the world we lived in, but the main theme is still about hope and love. While the plot is relatively simple, the acting feels truly impressive because of the genuine feelings between the lines.

This movie is a mixture of many social topics that concern us, being organized coherently into a deeply touching narrative. It reveals many imperfections of the world we lived in, but the main theme is still about hope and love. While the plot is relatively simple, the acting feels truly impressive because of the genuine feelings between the lines.
Based on a true story, Hope follows the traumatic journey of a young girl, So-won, who survives a brutal sexual assault and must rebuild her life amid a deeply flawed justice system. Despite immense physical and emotional pain, her courage and the love of her family highlight the resilience of the human spirit. The film powerfully criticizes legal leniency for predators and calls for greater empathy, protection, and support for victims.
