What a waste of talent! Only Natalie Portman gave a terrific performance. I could not even remotely identify on any level with the others. Go see Sideways instead.
Sooooooooo true to life.... It kinda makes u think ... i dunno.... this movie was ok it wasn`t the greatest but it was good cuz it had JUDE LAW in it. i liked the story line tho it makes u think alot about how human nature is and wat we do to get wat we want. over all it was good it still doesn`t bet ALFIE THO I STILL LOVE U JUDE AND ALL THE MOVIES U`VE MADE
This movie was terrible. There was no plot, no climax of the movie... nothing. I can`t believe that Julia Roberts even took this part. It`s 2 hours and $13 that I just can`t get back.
This movie was quite the let down. From the previews I thought it was going to be amazing. The feeling that I got from this movie is the the director tried so hard to be insightful and tried to jam pack the movie with so much symbology that he loses the audience and ends up making no sense. The movie keeps jumping from scene to scene without serving any purpose. I understand what the director was trying to show the audience, I think he just went overbord and ended up boring people.
This movie was amazingly REAL - which is more than I can say for 95% of what comes out of `feel-good/fantasy` hollywood. Most often we only see what glitters in love - and if there is any trouble portrayed, it is light or cast in a comedic context. In Closer, the true extremeties of emotion that come with love, sex and relationships are brilliantly portrayed. I found this film to be amazing.
This is a brutally honest film about relationships.
Fabulous! Gripping and very real. I think Clive Owen steals the show from three other wonderful performers who are in top form. Jude Law is wonderful. I can`t think of another movie with only four people in it. A movie where the two hunk men stars show their tender and vulnerable side, crying and begging for love. I`ve seen it twice already and will certainly see it many more times. What wouldn`t I give for Clive Owen to look at me like he looks at Natalie Portman in the gallery!
One big conclusion of this movie: men are jerks! Men in this movies use different tactics to lure their women to bed, and played well to win double Jerpordy (Jude). Of course some of them had their punishment, some left unarrested. Julia was at a win-win situation, then all in a sudden, she was back to a lose-lose situation with a twist of Owen. However, the sad girl Alice went from a lose-lose to win-win situation. Life is in your control ~ if you play it well. This movie makes you think
I was so disappointed in this movie. It was a waste of time to view a film of this caliber and so sad that Julie Roberts would agree to do this movie.
CLOSER IS BEAUTIFUL. FINALLY A FILM FOR ADULTS! THIS FILM WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT MIKE NICHOLS (DIRECTOR) AND THE AMAZING CAST!!! A MUST-SEE OF 2004
