My summary of Closer

Rating: 1/10 (20 September 2005)

I especially liked the song "Can't take my eyes off of you" and Julia Roberts, as always, acts superbly. But, is it me, or do most English actors sound wooden and untrue? The storyline was average but I just couldn't believe the acting ability of Jude Law and Clive Owen. They seem more ideally suited to average English stage productions than to big film acting. Natalie Portman played a great role. The Opera House was filmed beautifully and the various streets and sights of London were also appealing to someone who has never seen or visited London. Did I mention that Julia Roberts, as she always does, acts wonderfully and I thought that anything with her in it would have had me hanging off my seat but, terribly sorry, this film, was not well acted and I want my money back.
