Review of Poetry (2010) by Sista M — 23 Sep 2011
Stirring and intimate portrayal of an elderly woman caught in a moral dilemma and how she finds solutions and strength by immersing herself in trying to find her inner poet. Raising her grandson, whom the mother has left with her, she deeply loves him, but how does she integrate her love with her compassion for a teenage girl who kills herself because of him.
Best Korean flick since The Host (possible because it's the only other Korean film I've seen). It left me breathless and teary-eyed.
