TIFF REVIEW: FILM #4 "Poetry"









DIRECTED BY - Lee Changdong

IN MY OPINION - 7/10


Taking the screenplay award at Cannes this year I was looking forward to Poetry. And story wise it did not dissappoint.
Watching the lead deal with weight of the world on her aging shoulders is wonderfully acted and well told, it was a pacing issue that kept this from hitting a higher note with me. I was close to dozIng off a couple times. And I'm not going to say that was just the movie. It might have just been me, but I was having trouble at times keeping my eyes open and I feel guilty for it as the story was very good.
