Faithful to the unfaithful

Rating: 8/10 (14 April 2005)

Is your boyfriend stepping out on the relationship? Wife cheating? Bring them to "Closer" and watch them squirm. Some movies are perfect for couples falling in love. Recommend this one to snarling friends on the verge of breaking up; they'll see themselves -- and their soon-to- be former lovers -- in the four characters. "Closer" and "Sideways" provide two excellent ensembles, four actors in each exploring the boundaries of what can and cannot be accepted in relationships. A warning: Those who are in sold relationships may walk away shaken -- in a good way, of course. If you didn't see "Closer" in the theaters, rent the movie and watch it over and over.
