YOUR RATING
The House of Suh (2010)
THE HOUSE OF SUH tells the story of Andrew Suh and his sister Catherine, and how the values, conflicts, and dysfunctions of their Korean immigrant family led to the murder of Catherine's fiance, Robert O'Dubaine. Eloquently narrated by Andrew, the documentary highlights issues of assimilation and the struggle between freedom and responsibility, raising questions about guilt, innocence, and the illusive gray area in-between.

    What A Disappointment

    This murderous narcissist fails to accept much (if any) blame, and even though his sister is complete scum, he fails to see what's painfully obvious to almost everyone else in the free world-his sister is a murderer.

    Regardless of the issues in their family, plenty of people suffer tremendous abuse and manage to become productive members of society that aren't convicted of murdering anyone.

    This documentary is more of the same ridiculous trope of passing blame and excusing abhorrent crimes because of supposed abuse that we're never given actual proof thereof s

    Skip this one.

    Gripping

    Choices. Assimilation. Wealth. Manipulation. All sad factors contributing to what qualifies as being and gaining success. I watched this during a block of free time after binge watching documentaries. This one was worth watching.

    Errol Morris should get a piece of the action!

    I enjoyed "House of Suh." As a former denizen of the neighborhood where the murder took place, I was immediately attracted to the story. My prior life was as a criminal defense attorney, and the Suh case reminds of how real life is much more interesting and complex than fiction. It is too bad that the commercial movie that was made of this case did not feature Asian actors as Asians remain the invisible group in our culture. "The House of Suh" illustrates that stories involving Asian stand on their own and do not need to be Anglicized. That being said, I recommend it to documentary fans, especially those who enjoy the style of Errol Morris. I hesitate to use the term plagiarize, but. . .Ms. Shim has almost completely hijacked Morris' style. No matter, it's a good doc, so check it out.

    Interesting

    Very good doc. Nice n length very detailed i thought. The family members on both sides did a great job. Very sad story though. I hope things change for Andrew. His sister really screwed him, and Robert!!
