Critics Consensus: Despite Sandra Oh's typically strong performance and glimmers of potential from writer-director Iris K. Shim, Umma is a cliché-ridden missed opportunity.

Reviews

Jordy Reviews It

Jordy Sirkin

Though it has an intriguing premise, Umma leaves little to be desired, with a lukewarm script and ineffective jump scares.

While it’s hardly an exemplar of the genre, one hopes its lukewarm reception doesn’t prevent similar projects from being made in the future.

A “quality” thriller that can’t be bothered to get down and dirty and scary.

Delivers atmosphere, tension, whirling camerawork and jump scares aplenty.

Umma isn’t necessarily the most original genre movie to be released this year, but I just enjoyed how earnestly the story approaches all the genre elements and the relationships of these characters.
