CLOSER DVD

Oh Hollywood how far you have fallen. In a few years there won't be any movies for decent people to see. This was one of the worst movies I have ever fast forwarded through. There is no romance here or love, only grossness and ugly, whiny, weak, selfish people.

I chose this film because Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman, Jude Law and Clive Owens are in it. I thought it would be good. I was wrong.This is about two couples who exchange partners with each other back and forth. It is a sordid, tawdry, nasty film. Anna, played by Julia Roberts, is a successful photographer. She photographs Dan, an author, played by Jude Law, who promptly declares his love for her only having met her this one time. Dan is in a relationship with Alice, played by Natalie Portman. By an odd coincidence Dan brings Larry, played by Clive Owens, and Anna together. They marry. However, Anna and Dan engage in a torrid affair for a year. Dan reveals this to Alice who is heartbroken. She leaves Dan and returns to her old occupation as a stripper. Anna tells Larry that she is having an affair with Dan for a year. He freaks out. Larry finds Alice in a strip club and has a fling with her.It is in the strip club that Alice tells the truth to Larry, but he does not believe her.There is a bit of a surprise ending.This film, however, is a waste of time surprise ending or no.

This is one of the most brilliant movies I've ever watched. The first time I watched it, I was younger and couldn't relate to the characters or the plot, and I remember being somewhat repulsed by the movie. Years later, after I had experienced more of life, I had cause to come back to it, and the characters and the plot spoke deeply to me. I have watched sections of the movie now and again, and it never fails to move me. The characters are flawed, and the pain they feel is introduced into their lives through their own actions. There is lying and deceit. The movie is about the complications of relationships through the prism of love. It is hurtful, yet poignant to watch.

No Cupid’s, hearts, flowers, rainbow characters. This is a very in your face depiction of game players in relationship. The stripper is the only honest character. So much deception and back stabbing. Everybody lies but the stripper. Her honesty shocks the other three players in this foursome of lovers. Definitely worth watching. The lies and webs they spin. Only the stripper understands, she has backbone and courage.

I failed to see anything worth praise in this movie. It was just dumb. Everybody screwed everybody and bounced back and forth like high schoolers. Dumb.

The men cheat on the women, and the women cheat on the men. But when the women do it, the guys get angry and violent, but it's okay if they do it. Movie would of been better if the guys calmed down and smoked weed. Also this would of made a really great LGBT romance movie if Natalie Portman and Jennifer Garner got together instead and dumped the men. 0/10 needs weed and gay. This movie portrays women as sluts and are dependent on men. I'm surprised if this didn't make it on the Top 5 incel movie list. I couldn't understand the characters reactions or motives because they always seemed too emotional and unjustified in their reactions. I feel bad for Natalie Portman and Jennifer Garner for having to be in this male written fantasy of the early 2000's.

Closer is pure genius. The comedy is perfect, and the cast was well directed. Jude Law is probably the most believable actor I've ever watched. When he says his lines, you're never thinking about a writer deciding them. The movie gives the viewer a believable glimpse into the human nature of two men battling over one woman, and all the complex nuance that happens in love and war.

Third time I have watched this film, and I can honestly say it gets even better with each watch.The dialogue is tremendous and utterly delicious, the closest thing I can think of to the wonderful repartee of old 1930's comedies, other than David O Russell films. Clive Owen's Dr. Larry is pure savage, probably my favorite character, at once both charming and also controlling, utterly gross and despicable. Although this is billed as a romantic comedy drama, there are some lines that are just doozies and will leave one rolling with laughter. For those who dislike romantic comedies, this film is spicy enough to entertain, and it's not some sopping wet, weepy, crying "I love you" in the rain piece. It's a film for adults and realists and yes, the characters are flawed, make mistakes, hurt one another, and are only clean on the surface.The screenplay for Closer was written by Patrick Marber, and adapted from his play. This film centers around four main characters, and we see these characters' lives intertwine as they navigate an emotional roller coaster of desire and deceit.I feel this film is authentic and the characters are complicated, flawed and believable. They each lead intense emotional lives and have their own reasons for doing what they do. Fear of being hurt, using control, lies and manipulation as a form of leverage to protect oneself emotionally, etc. The film title Closer implies coming together or being near, but each time one of the characters comes closer to the truth or to another character, the further the separation. Also the juxtaposition of being in a relationship with someone, being "close" but being a stranger to that person. I could go on, as there are many subtle nuances to this film and many layers to unwrap. Overall, however, if you want to just watch an entertaining film and not delve into the psychological aspects, it's a great character-driven film with a fantastic cast giving superb performances and really doing the screenplay justice.

Nothing wrong with disc or quality just a rubbish film.

I cant say anymore about the item as i bought it as a present for some one. There has been no complaints, so all is well.RegardsB Hearn.

a real intense story and love and sex, with no sex!

Don't do it, just don't. Spend the money on something else.

Great
