Perfect.

Rating: 10/10 (28 July 2012)

Fairy tales aside, this film takes a realistic look at modern relationships. It is honest, accurate, and shows the brutal side to relationships.
The cast for the film was perfect. It's hard to imagine anyone else being cast in the four roles in this film because Clive Owen, Jude Law, Julia Roberts and Natalie Portman worked so well together. This helped the film seem all the more realistic and believable. Clive Owen in particular was excellent as Larry. In a stage production of Closer, Owen actually took on the role of Dan, which is hard to imagine after seeing how well he played Larry.
Patrick Marber's script is magnificently written. The whole film is a string of conversations made up of memorable quotes. The explicit language made it all the more better as it showed just how love effects people and their actions.
I gave this film such a high rating because for the type of film it is, it is perfect in every way. 7.3 does not do it justice.
