My Life As A Movie
Join Michelle, Helen and Tracy each week as we review a movie from a 'human' point of view. We delve into what they reveal to us about ourselves, others and the world we live in. We talk about how movies and the power of storytelling can be used as a tool for greater self awareness, growth and even change.

Helen and Michelle return to review this semi-biographical, critically acclaimed drama film. We share our opinion whether the HFPA was right to include it in the foreign language film category for the Golden Globe nominations, despite being an American production. We reflect on our own unique experiences as children of migrant parents, comparing it to the story of the Korean-American family depicted in the film. We comment on the differences between our dreams and those of our migrant parents and how we balance our cultural heritage with calling Australia home. We explore the symbolic meaning behind the movie's title, for the director Lee Isaac Chung but also to us personally.
