Amazon.co.uk

Four extremely beautiful people do extremely horrible things to one another in Closer, Mike Nichols' pungent adaptation of Patrick Marber's play that easily marks the Oscar-winning director's best work in years. Anna (Julia Roberts) is a photographer who specializes in portraits of strangers; Dan (Jude Law) is an obituary writer struggling to become a novelist; Alice (Natalie Portman) is an American stripper freshly arrived in London after a bad relationship; and Larry (Clive Owen) is a dermatologist who finds love under the most unlikely of circumstances. When their paths cross it's a dizzying supernova of emotions, as Nichols and Marber adroitly construct various scenes out of their lives that pair them again and again in various permutations of passion, heartbreak, anger, sadness, vengeance, pleading, deception, and most importantly, brutal honesty.

It's only until you're more than halfway through the movie that you'll have to ask yourself exactly why you are watching such a beautifully tragic tale, as Closer is basically the ickiest, grossest, most dysfunctional parts of all your past relationships strung together into one movie. Ultimately, it falls on the four actors to draw you deeper into the story. All succeed relatively, but it's Law and Owen whose characters will cut you to the quick. Law proves that yet again he's most adept at playing charming, amoral bastards with manipulative streaks, and Owen is nothing short of brilliant as the character most turned on by the energy inherent in destructive relationships--whether he's on the giving or receiving end. --Mark Englehart

Synopsis
Are humans meant to mate for life? What drives someone in a perfectly good relationship to cheat and risk losing the one that they love and that loves them? Is it possible to love more than one person at the same time? How well does anyone really know the one that they love? Directed by Mike Nichols (The Graduate, Birdcage, Working Girl), Closer questions the nature of relationships and fidelity as it follows the tangled web created by Dan (Jude Law), Alice (Natalie Portman), Anna (Julia Roberts), and Larry (Clive Owen). Dan, a British writer of obituaries, and Alice, a young American stripper, meet in the film's opening scene when a London cab runs her down. Cut to a year later: Dan and Alice are now a couple, but he is suddenly smitten with Anna, a beautiful American photographer. In an ironic twist of fate, Anna meets Larry, a British doctor, and they are soon a couple, despite Dan's continuing obsession. But the entanglements don't end there, and ultimately, someone is sure to get hurt. The four players do justice to a script that is humorous, raw and disarmingly honest about adult relationships.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting tangle of lives, 19 Dec 2008

By	brainleek007 (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

The content of Closer was quite a surprise. I thought the best element of it was the dialogue which at times seemed quite real. It's littered with profanities and frank sexual dialogue but it never shys away from being a pretty good resemblance of how people actually talk in the real world. In my experience anyway. The film does feel pretty grounded in the real world.

The film follows four main characters whose lives intertwine as they all seem to end up with each other at various points in the film. Like the reviewer above states, and I have to agree, the characters aren't really that likeable. Natalie Portman's is probably the most likeable as she seems genuine but a twist at the end of the film casts a doubt on her too. The characters all seem pretty selfish and self serving and Jude Law's character is an utterly unlikeable whiny little *&^%(*�$ (insert your own expletive) who simply doesn't know what he wants even though he's got things pretty damn good and he tramps on everyone in trying to find out. I have to admit I took great pleasure in the scene where Clive Owen's character sets him right about a few things!

There's nothing particularly outstanding in the film yet it remains quite compelling viewing; essentailly to see what's going to befall each character.

Picure wise the disc is reasonable - it's high def but you'll never demo your TV with it. The film is dialogue driven and the soundtrack is perfectly adequate.

Reasonable entertainment

3.0 out of 5 stars Passed the time of day, 21 Dec 2007

By	london_dom "london_dom" (London) - See all my reviews

This was watchable just about. Julia Roberts still is being cast as the sexy character and it doesn't quite work anymore. None of the characters are that likeable but its ok for a bored Tuesday night in front of the TV.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good quality Blu-Ray, nice entertaining film, 21 April 2009

By	C. M. Benning "Cindy Lubbers-Benning" (Almere, The Netherlands) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For the current low price, it's a very good buy. The Blu-Ray quality is as it always should be, good. The film stays entertaining the whole time. Sometimes the time laps are a bit confusing. In my point of view the way the main characters handle their relationships is a bit over the top. Then again, "normal" relationships can be boring to look at.
