Come closer and you'll see...

Rating: 9/10 (15 January 2014)

People have two options after see this movie: love or hate. Simple. They can be angry, sometimes... or sad. Or they never want to watch it again, but it is always about one of these two options.
Huge cast! Julia Roberts stars as a depressive photographer, who recently have get divorced. Jude Law is a novelist, sentimental and insecure. Clive Owen is a doctor, a man who always like be in power and in control of the situations. Natalie Portman is an enigmatic woman, the most complex character; you don't know when she is telling the truth.
Anna (Julia Robert) married Larry (Clive Owen) but kept a secret relationship with Dan (Jude Law), who knows Alice (Nathalie Portman) and they start lived together. Dan believes that it is possible to love two women at the same time, but everybody suffers with this situation. Anna likes to suffer. Alice appears and disappears from nowhere; her choices it is not very clear.
The lines are short and effective. You'll understand everything because of the dialog; the movie will show you all the important scenes, but the details you'll catch up in the actors and actress lines. "Closer" shows the real part of the relationship, but that part that nobody wants to agree with this. But you know it is true, that is why you may hate it.
Tells about love and lies. Love and hate. Love and betrayal. It isn't easy to accept the truth. The movie is kind of about the pessimistic side of love, and of life too. It is not hard to identify ourselves in some character, in some attitudes, and especially, a few sentences in the dialogs.
This movie can be interpreted in so many ways for each person, which can be a reason for a lot of different opinions. And I see this as a positive side, making us think about, agree or disagree with the end. You may not like this movie, but certainly you will talk about it. The characters may even be unsuccessful and not have a happy ending, but they rather teach us something.
