Complex, Compelling, Closer's Classic *spoiler*

Rating: Null/10 (6 December 2004)

Well this is the best movie I have seen since 21 Grams. I am in awe of how simple the movie is (in terms of dialogue, screen work, etc) yet how complex the characters are. The chemistry between the 4 of them is just flawless. This movie would have really been a sad affair if the acting was not at the level it was. It was refreshing to see Julia Roberts again on screen, and re-affirming her role (arguably) as Hollywood's TOP Actress. Although, Portman, based on the Alice Character, definitely has something to say about that. Those 2 definitely deserve the gold-men, come early next year.
I have a question, when exactly did Alice and Dan exchange names? That's the only part I'm left puzzled by, because I seem to remember them exchanging names before going into the cemetery, in which case, How would Jane have taken-up the name Alice Ayres?
