What happens

A South Korean woman in her sixties enrolls in a poetry class as she grapples with her faltering memory and her grandson's appalling wrongdoing.

What the critics said

Notable Critics

"It comes together neatly, perhaps too neatly to be ... poetry. But it's not prosaic, either. It has a lucid grace."

— David Edelstein

"It's fair to say that the subject-matter... is likely to be a hard sell, but the quality of the film is such that it simply demands an airing."

— Trevor Johnston
