As soon as I saw the Sylvia Plath poster in the first scene and the references to the poet's life I knew it was going to be a movie I would enjoy, but sadly that ended up raising my expectations a little too much for this kind of film. Emma Roberts fits perfectly for this role and one thing I did like about the movie is that each character has a very defined and particular personality. The audience gets too see Amy which is desperate to get some renounced attention as a poet and creates a relationship with her favorite local poet, which is played by John Cusack. After all, Amy grows up and learns that things are not always what they seem and sometimes you just have to cope with failure. The movie which is about poetry, lacked poetic depth.
