Tedious, badly-acted, mind-numbing drivel.

Rating: 1/10 (27 January 2005)

This is the latest in a long line of must-like films. Oooh! There's swearing! Oooh! People shout at each other and get depressed! Oooh! it's about relationships! Oooh! it's really clever! The truth is, as everyone knows, that the film is simply dire. It is successful, because it is mandatory to claim to enjoy films like this, even though they are devoid of any single meritorious feature.The cast can't act, (particularly Jude Law playing his usual smug role), and the story has no touch with reality at all. The dialogue is laughable, and pretentious. Closer is invalid and should not even exist.
The only spoiler here is the film itself-it will spoil your evening.
