Good for those that experienced something similar

Closer has made a huge impression on me because of its strong resemblance to my life experiences. It's about four people who don't really know what exactly they want in life. After watching it, I couldn't talk for 15 minutes. It was the only movie that I actually cried over. The song "Blower's Daughter" is very touching, too. I would recommend this movie for those who had some bad relationships in their life. The movie really captures the essence of life, in my view. Some might find it to be a bit trashy and maybe even stupid. However, I think that it is very perceptive. The performances are OK, and the costumes are great. Natalie Portman really comes through in this movie. To summarize: the movie is very poignant and well made, you should definitely go see it if you feel like crying (=
