Helpful Score: 1
The Last Story of Mina Lee by Nancy Jooyoun Kim sets up what should be a powerful story of the immigrant experience and an emotional story of the relationship between a mother and a daughter. The story has amazing potential but somehow manages to stay at a distance from its themes. It feels like the story is told not lived and the emotion of the story remains just out of reach.
