Intense

Rating: 9/10 (11 August 2005)

Wonderfully acted and intensely psychological, this is the type of film that is meant to be viewed more than once. The film proves to be the most realistic depiction of adult relationships that I have ever seen on the screen. There is no simple explanation for their problems and emotions, the characters and the plot are both extremely complex. Closer's presentation of realistic and highly conflicted characters reminds me a lot of those in Tennessee Williams's Streetcar Name Desire. If you are in the mood for a film that really makes you think and gives you something to reflect back on later then I would highly recommend this film to you.
