Closer
Just saw this movie tonight... Thought is was worthy of a thread simply because it was one of the few movies this year that I found myself carrying around in my head afterwards.
No sympathetic characters - no one to cheer for. Digs deep into the selfishness of relationships and sexuality, and props this selfishness up as a value at times. Dysfunction can be hot.
Not a fan of Julia Roberts, but wow. Fearless and unexpected from an actress that makes millions from crowd apeasing performances.
Watched many people in the theater leave because they were hoping for a Jude Law/ Julia Roberts romantic comedy. Anyone else enjoy being challenged with this?
