Worth Watching

Rating: 8/10 (22 December 2019)

A note to all thinking about watching this: All the negative reviews are failing to consider the perspective this film should be watched from. All of the dialog being said between the 4 main characters should be interpreted as what they are actually thinking but not saying. The actions and consequences play out on the screen as if we are saying all the "normal" things people say in these situations. Things that are often filled with mind games, false pleasantries, and deception with an end goal in mind, but not as raw or bluntly honest as the movie portrays. The title is Closer and alludes to what things look like between people when we are "Closer" to the honest thoughts and ambitions in their head.
My only complaint Is "Alices" story line and what happens with her at the end isn't really built up or explained well outside outside a handful of sentences. This makes her ending seem a little lacking.
