An excellent film!

Rating: 10/10 (24 February 2006)

Closer was one of those films that I had wanted to see for the longest time, but forgot all about the trailers I had seen over time. A year later, I spotted it on the movie store rack, and just had to check it out before I forgot about it again.
Closer. This movie was an incredible movie to say the least. Julia Roberts and Natalie Portman played their roles so well, and I do think it helped that I related to the film and its characters.
Movies with plot twists get a thumbs up from me. And to top it off - and I'm not trying to be a 'typical male', but Natalie Portman's scenes half way through the film made it that much more worth watching. Aside from that, the storyline itself was a great tale, and I hope to see another film of its caliber in the future.
As a last note - I was angry after I watched it the first time. Angry at the characters. The roles these two actresses played here... I was upset that they had taken those roles, and wish they hadn't. Yet, if they were not in the film, I don't see how it would have been as good as it was, and I also would not have a reason to have seen it (since I have had a crush on both actresses for so long I can't remember!).
If you haven't seen it, you should. It is a great movie!
