Sandra Oh didn't plan it this way, but she's spent 2022 so far helping Asian American audiences heal at the movies playing mothers learning to loosen up in their love.
In Pixar's animated hit "Turning Red," streaming on Disney+, Oh voices Ming Lee, the overprotective mom of precocious 13-year-old Meilin (Rosalie Chiang) whose coming of age coincides with her out-of-control ability to turn into a giant red panda.
For the horror crowd, Oh also stars in supernatural thriller "Umma" (out now on VOD) as Amanda, a Korean American woman living happily in seclusion with her teenage daughter Chris (Fivel Stewart) on a remote bee farm — until the ghost of her own recently departed mother comes calling.
