Huntin P @PaxVobiscum80 Sep 14, 2026 It always annoys me when people say, that aged well, usually meaning it didn't. Movies and TV shows don't age, we do. Our feelings, our priorities change. The old shows just stay as they are. That being said, Closer probably felt edgy in a world before everyone was online, before the hyperconnected world brought obscenity closer to home. There is a scene in the movie where the two men are conversing in a chatroom, sexting each other, one of them posing as a woman. The language is pathetically graphic, but at a certain time, to put such stuff in a theatre play (Closer was on the stage before it became a movie) probably felt daring. The cast of four give committed performances, none more intense than Clive Owen, who actually played in the stage version. All four people are quite objectionable, though Portman's character is the least unpleasant, to be fair. Thing is, in a world now weary of virtue signalling, four such energetic, untrustworthy creeps, could prove to be refreshingly tart? See more Mr P @Mrpoop Jul 26, 2026 This movie is so weird. The men are shit (coming from me, Mr poop). The movie sexualizes women to such a strong degree that it hurt to watch (like constaption). I never understood the time skips and what had happened between. AND LARRY IS A RAPIST WITH NO RESPECT FOR WOMEN. thank uuuuu.

It's a little cluster of lies back and forth between two couples. See more Aileen D @RT17276951 May 16, 2026 Excellent acting - especially Portman - and some good writing. In the end, it’s very cold. Love is betrayal and just a game until it ensnares you in a relationship of compromise, or worse, you lose out altogether. See more Blake- N @PBSAniDom Apr 27, 2026 Closer is a strong, emotionally intense drama that stands out for its sharp writing and unflinching look at relationships. It focuses on honesty, betrayal, and desire in a way that feels uncomfortable at times, but intentionally so. The dialogue is brutally direct, and the film doesn’t soften its characters or their choices, which makes everything feel more real. The performances are a major highlight, with the cast fully committing to complex, flawed roles that drive the story forward. The direction keeps things tight and focused, letting the tension build naturally without overcomplicating the narrative. While it may not be for everyone due to its heavy emotional tone, it succeeds at what it sets out to do and leaves a lasting impression. Overall, Closer is a well-acted, well-written drama that earns a solid 7/10. See more Read all reviews
