Story of 4 people hurting each other......

Rating: 7/10 (5 March 2017)

Closer (2004) is a movie about 4 people who all are romantically or sexually involved with one another at some point in the course of the movie. Clive Owen, Natalie Portman, Julia Roberts, and Jude Law all turn in fabulous performances here, Owen and Portman even earning academy award nominations for their portrayals. The movie has fitting dialogue for the subject matter it deals with, it gets highly sexually explicit at several points due to what's happening. The tense scenes that contain fighting and yelling between the characters because of the deception and betrayal are the ones that are the most well done in my opinion. The film offers up a very raw and realistic view of these people and I think that is good, because the film had to be graphic and real, in order to show the true feelings and torture these characters endure. There are a couple places where you feel exhausted from the goings on, because things are constantly changing, but it's supposed to be that way. 7/10 for Closer. Raw, well done film with great acting.
