A Poet

2025 · 123 min

A quiet, bittersweet character study that drifts between wry humour and sadness, asking patience as it watches a faded dreamer and a gifted girl.

Overview: An aging poet finds purpose mentoring Yurlady, a talented teen, though exposing her to the poetry scene might be unwise. His own poetic pursuits led nowhere, leaving him a stereotypical obscure writer.
How it feels: Melancholic, earnest, warm and dark. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Art, obsession, coming-of-age, identity
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
