Review of Poetry (2010) by Nguyen Thuy H — 01 Oct 2012
As a statement on familial matters, Poetry kicks the asses of such trashes like The Descendants out of the window. As a statement on modernity and poverty, Poetry lurks beneath the surface with a sense of bleakness.
However, as a statement on patriarchy, Poetry is extraordinary, reminding me of my experience with Winter's Bones. Finally, as an existential thrust, Poetry is painful, humane and heart-wrenching.
The targets are very broad, but this film has tackled every single issue in a very neat manner. A masterwork that needs wider recognition!
