Pretentious waste of time

Rating: 3/10 (20 January 2005)

This movie was such an obvious attempt to try and be a dramatic, heart-wrenching, tale of the human soul.. but it just found itself a pile of pretentious humility. I think what this film could have been with the actors, budget etc..Personally I don't care about the sexual content, I don't believe in censorship, my beef with the film is that it's characters invoke no empathy for the viewer.Do I care about these people? NO. Do I care about this story? NO. Was this film a waste of four extraordinary actors? YES. The only thing I will ever remember about "Closer" is how many times I looked at the clock to see how "Closer" the ending was..
