RETURN TO SEOUL (15) 

Director: Davy Chou, S Korea, 2022, 119m, 15, subtitles ,

 An absorbing and emotional Korean drama about adoption. In a terrific acting debut, Park Ji-min plays Freddie as she visits the country of her birth and decides on a whim to seek out her biological parents – with gripping consequences. 

‘Chou’s masterful film is a shapeshifting character portrait, sensitively exploring identity and belonging, and how these evolve within us over the course of time.’ Kimberley Sheehan, BFI
