A married poet falls in love with a teenage boy who is working in a doughnut shop.

Boyd van Hoeij

The Hollywood Reporter

This is clearly a first work with several issues, especially in its midsection, that's nonetheless promising and already makes one wonder what Kim will do next.

Mallory Andrews

Cinema Scope

Had Kim trimmed down the Boy's drama, The Poet and the Boy may have crystallized into a tight, pitch-perfect sonnet, rather than the more tonally unwieldy free-form final product.
