Viewing closer...

Rating: 9/10 (13 February 2005)

I saw Closer yesterday and was shocked.Not in my wildest dreams had I imagined that Roberts,Law and Portman could play something more than a sweetheart efficiently.Owen's performance was a knock out one.So was Natalie's.The film certainly exceeded my expectations...
How cruel can we be when we don't love our partner?Ask Anna and Dan.How can we get even with the guy who stole our wife?How can we get her back in regret?Ask Larry.How can we love somebody who hurts us and just forgive him before realizing he's not worth it?Ask Alice.Is it possible for a relationship theme movie to be utterly realistic and not ending happily?Ask Mike Nichols.
I've nothing more to say. Creating huge impact,witty,with sparkling performances and a fair ending.In the end,should we all wonder 'Why isn't love enough?'.Period.
