Review of Poetry (2010) by Angelica S — 15 Jul 2013

I just don't see it!! 100% critics, 85% audience approval? For me, I acknowledge that the movie was "Quiet" as a reviewer put it, and projected emotional nuances in a "Quiet", slowwww rhythm.

But for me, it was like watching someone go to the store for bread, then say, "Oh, I forgot the cheese, I must go back." Then, on their way, they see a bird, and say, "Oh, look at the beautiful bird.

" You start to wonder more than halfway through the movie, "Where the heck is this going." Oh, and you have to sit through a scene of this lady playing Badminton with her grandson for about 5 minutes on 2 different occasions.

There are scenes like this that ad nothing to the story. But in between the frustration, you get hints on where this is all going.
