A disturbing, emotional, powerful, and yet a wonderful film of 2004

Rating: 9/10 (16 April 2005)

I rented Closer yesterday along with other films and I got to watch Closer last night. I heard that this 104 minute film was really good and I've always wanted to see it, so I finally got to watch it. This was a great film from start to finish. The performances were very good and Clive Owen and Natalie Portman were the best of them, delivering powerful performances. Even though in the film you really won't like the characters, the character development sure puts you in the mood, watching these characters fall apart over each other. The soundtrack to the movie was also great and the song, "The Blower's Daughter," by Damien Rice is an excellent song. Overall, a disturbing film to watch and listen too about the characters, but yet a wonderful film to see, which everyone should see.
Hedeen's Outlook: 9/10 ***+ A-
