Reviews

World Socialist Web Site

David Walsh

'People are filthy, they're not worth lifting a finger for.' Closer conveys this sentiment more powerfully than anything else.

Clive Owen gives the deepest and most emotionally nuanced performance as a dermatologist desperate for love and loyalty, and Natalie Portman is a close second as the coy stripper beholden to Jude Law's self-centered, stalled writer.

Closer's world is a gentle one, a place of kindness. It is these people who are bringing spite into it.

The Dispatch (Lexington, NC)

Mattie Lucas

Each frame of the film seems infused with vibrant life, even when the tone switches from dark to darker.

For all its stunt casting and knee-jerk sexual frankness, Closer gives an underlying resonance to an emotional world that is normally the preserve of glossy soap operas.
