Closer was very realistic

Rating: 9/10 (2 March 2005)

I really enjoyed the film "Closer". I thought that it portrayed relationships and human feelings well. I think that the dialogue might've been a little over-dramatic, but the situations were definitely true to life. It makes you feel better about a bad relationship(s), because you can see that other people suffer as well. My favorite part was when Natalie Portman's Alice overheard a conversation near the beginning, and told Julia Robert's Anna "just take my picture!" A tear slid down her cheek then, and you could tell that she was hurt. I think that a lot of people can get something out of "Closer", and really relate to it. It's simply a wonderful portrait of human deception, lies, and suffering. I would recommend "Closer" to anybody, but it's not a date movie if that's what you're in the mood for. In "Closer", you can see how people intenionally try to hurt other people. I think that Natalie Portman did the best job in her role as the stripper Alice. You will think about "Closer" long after you've left the movie theatre. This will stay with you forever, and you will always think back to it in hard times with relationships. All in all, "Closer" is very true to life and a classic original film!
