i thought the set design, the locations, and the cinemaphotography were beautiful.
perhaps the script and concept is better suited for the stage... the characters seemed more like caricatures... the intensity with which the actors delivered their lines made most of the dialogue seem excruciatingly trite. from the beginning i was fidgeting in my seat, and i kept thinking maybe i should go to the gym and take a 3pm class. i walked out after a half an hour. from reading other people's reviews, i understand one of the female characters has something interesting happen to them at the end of the movie. but i still don't care enough to know what it is.
i would recommend "closer" as something to rent with one's friends; sort of the way one would rent "basic instinct" and "showgirls."
