Review of Closer

Closer (I) (2004)
10/10
Excellently crafted, tightly woven film.
3 December 2004
I absolutely loved this very raw, character-driven drama. If you're looking for another "Notting Hill" or "My Best Friend's Wedding", forget it. Look elsewhere. But, if you love sexually-oriented dialogue, and gritty, honest performances, this movie is for you. This film is drama at it's best, i.e. "Leaving Las Vegas", or "Mystic River". None of the characters in "Closer" are remotely likable, but you are still slowly drawn into their sick and twisted world. This is DVD library material for the true drama-lover.

To everyone involved in the making of this wonderful film: Great job! To Julia, Jude, Natalie, and Clive: Your performances were as good or better than anything that I've ever seen you do. Keep up the good work!
