Your Reviews

This movie is so painfully slow and boring that it renders any point being made irrelavent and pointless.

They are all so very articulate, which is refreshing in a time when literate and evocative speech has been devalued in the movies.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Mike Nichols' haunting, hypnotic Closer vibrates with eroticism, bruising laughs and dynamite performances from four attractive actors doing decidedly unattractive things.Full Review

Peter Travers
Rolling Stone

From Marber's fiercely polished writing, Nichols wrings every drop of acid, yet it's a show of the director's goodness that a movie fundamentally preoccupied with interpersonal ugliness is allowed to end on a convincing note of beauty.Full Review

Wesley Morris
Boston Globe

This is most definitely NOT a date movie. But if you appreciate films that are more substance than style, that take challenges and don't follow formulas, and that feature Oscar-caliber performances, Closer is not to be missed.Full Review

James Berardinelli
ReelViews

Dramatically leaps through time, covering months or sometimes years in the span of a single cut. The effect is jarring and exhilarating, but it also bucks the common idea that relationships deepen over time.Full Review
