Disappointing film

Rating: 1/10 (20 January 2005)

Well I must be the odd one out, as it's been nominated for awards but I thought Closer was one of the worst films I've seen in a long time.
The script - who created that? A 15 year old boy in heat? - could have been made better by using less crude language. I mean why say "make love" if you can use the F word? I found it, the language used, to be unrealistic several times. Most women I know would not act or react in the ways the characters did.
It was plain vulgar at times. I'm no prude, but I found myself squirming in my seat at times and feeling it was totally unnecessary for the script/actors to be portrayed this way. It was vulgar and there was no real story that I could see, and what there was, was unlikely and unbelievable. Why would anyone stay with or even marry or go back to Larry (Clive Owen) who Anna (Julia Roberts) married in it? Eeeeewwwww, gross horrible character - and I didn't really like his "acting". I would hazard a guess and say men would like this film more than a woman would, and the women would only go and see it in order to view Jude Law. ;)
Disappointed in this film.
