Don't Get too (Glenn) Close...
16 February 2023
Another of those 80s flicks that I've seen a dozen times, but never paid much attention.

Is Alex considered a Nice Girl in this? I would say yes, except it worked for her at first.

Glenn Close is scary when she needs to be, No wonder she was nominated for an Oscar.

Anne Archer was nominated too - tho she kinda has a thankless "the wife" role. But, she does give it more depth than typically seen.

The standout in the cast is the little girl, Ellen Latzen. The kid was a natural, and thanks to the chemistry with, especially Michael Douglas, she seemed like a real kid in a real family.

Excellent film, especially for some of the writing and directing choices. Adrian Lyne may not be the most famous of directors, but he knows how to make an intriguing, steamy film.
