mindblowing!
Terrible. The most boring film I have seen an a long time
Saw this last nite and was blowen away by the performance and the subject matter. It is beautifully done. I have always enjoyed a character driven film and this did not disappoint. Clive Owen is brillant and did the part justice with his tearful "Did you ever love me?" It is sad to me that people do actually hurt each other in a manner which is raw and driven by, it looks better over there mentallity. Overall LOVED this film, a definate add to my collection. It is so interesting to me when folks get upset about a bit of cyber sex....call it profanity, but can and do tolerate the amount of violence on tv and the big screen at any given time
With 50% of 50% of comments rating this movie as bad, your stats show 77% with 4 or more STARS;and 86% with 3 or more STARS. ???!!!!.
I read about half the comments and found about half said they did not like it. Your stats show 77% gave 3 or more stars. ???!!!!
I think Closer is well worth seeing. Especially if you often find yourself meeting eyes with strangers on the street... and perhaps kick yourself later, wondering what could have been. Closer shows that chance encounters can lead to relationships - and although it`s fictitious - at times feels like a documentary. I felt a strange sense of deja vu throughout the movie. I think it gives an accurate portrayal of relationships in the modern western world today.
Verbal pornography. So distasteful, and completely unnecessary. Saw it with some friends, and we ALL wished we hadn`t wasted wasted our time...let alone our $$. I was shocked to see Julia Roberts and Natalie Portman in such gutter roles. So sad. PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY!!
brilliant
BAH WORST MOVIE EVER DUNNO WHY I WASTED MY TIME WATCHING IT. 2 1/2 HOURS GONE FROM MY PRECIOUS LIFE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
NO QUESTION the WORST movie (if you`d call it that) I have EVER seen. Great acting well wasted. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SAVE YOUR MONEY! I contimplated leaving but stayed in hopes it would get better however i was sadly mistaken... Thats 2 1/2 hrs of my life I`ll bever get back.
I LOVED IT. THIS IS REAL LIFE AND ABOUT US, PEOPLE IN RELATIONSHIP.
What a weird movie. Not bad...just strange. Some plot and meaning, but hated the one-word dialogue, found it annoying.
This is by FAR, the WORST movie I have EVER seen!!! SO bad, that I am actually upset that I spent the $7.25 on the movie and lost those 2hours of my life! I definatley think I deserve a refund, and so does anyone else that goes to see it! Jude Law, I would expect this from, but not Julia Roberts! PLEASE don`t waiste your time, and hard earned money.
Beautiful.....
SUPER
Very, very difficult to watch. Four people abusing each other in every way possible. I`m far from a prude, but the language was way over-the-top. It was as if Mike Nichols was intentionally out to offend. Nothing redeeming about this drivel at all.....
Closer the movie (as it was first a play in London) is not for everyone. You can not be in the middle. I could relate to this story as I was once in a simiular situation, but went back to my Ex. I think this story can teach a lession if you are open to it.
THIS MOVIE IS A JOKE. WE LAUGHED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE MOVIE. THIS IS ONE SERIOUS WASTE OF TIME. JULIA ROBERTS IS A BORE, JUDE LAW IS A BORE. OHHHH HE`S SO HOT....YEAH RIGHT, IF YOU LIKE GIRLIE MEN.... NATHALIE PORTMAN, NEVER SAW HER IN A MOVIE...NOW I KNOW WHY..THE ONLY "REAL" PART WAS THE CHATTING ON THE NET. REMEMBER GUYS THIS IS WHAT IS USUALLY HAPPENING WHEN YOU ARE CHATTING WITH A HOTTIE...HA HA HA....I GUESS WE ALL GOT SUCKERED INTO GOING TO SEE THIS MOVIE...WHAT A BORE AND IF YOUR WITH A WOMAN WHO LIKED THIS MOVIE...ONE WORD MY FRIEND....RUN....FAST.....
This ranks up there with the dumbest movies ever imagined. The dialogue is just below B grad porn. Sorry B grade porn is much better… Once again Julia Roberts is totally unbelievable as an actor and Jude Law is unbearable. Who in their right mind talks like they do? No one I know or would like to know. The flow of the dialogue is comparable to a Disney musical….only much worse. Yes I know that it`s based on a play but that`s one of the problems, there seems to be no adaptation for the big screen. Urghhhhh.
Incredibly honest portrayal of the pathetic level to which some individuals stoop, and the pity that one must inevitably have for them. Last year I found out my husband of 15 years had betrayed me, and had been cheating on me for the better part of a year. Having reached depths of pain I never thought possible, I strongly believe this type of movie (artistic, not Hollywood formula), will resonate with those who have lived through the hell that I have lived through.
soft porno...not much of a story line...
Honestly this movie is garbage. Not worth the film it`s made of. So what? You have to be cheated to appreciate this marvel? I don`t think so. This is only for sadistic freaks.
it`s not for everyone BUT it`s not predictable like most movies. didn`t know what to expect going in and i was really impressed with the dialogues and timing- mostly clive owens. natalie portman`s performance was very good. some of the talk was too trashy but i was engaged the whole time. i liked it.
I thought this movie was disgusting, and if it wasn`t for my friends, I would have left before the movie was over. I thought the sotry line was horrible - the characters couldn`t make up thier minds about who they wanted to be with so instead of choosing they continually cheat on thier partners. I also thought that there were many lines ans scenes that were derogotory against women. Bad movie...i do not recommend it.
the movie was well made but not sure how realistic.
Really disapointed Julie Roberts played in such a terrible movie.
GREAT ! plainly fantastic.
What a wicked movie... tripped me out in a few parts.. had some serious deja-vu while watching it... like almost freaky :S !!! Really well done! Gonna buy it when its released on DVD.
Horrible..Worst movie we have ever seen. Don`t waste your time or money on this what they call a movie!!!
This movie is definatly hit or miss. I loved it - others hated it. I thought it to be an insightful look into the other side of relationships - one that most movies fail to portray. It brings a light to the dark side of love. Thank you Patrick Marber for writing such a spectacular, intuitive piece.
jude law is soooooooooo sexy yum
I love Julie Roberts, it is the best actress I ever know, but the movie it is not for her
Awful...wierd and all together disapointing from what the previews make it out to be. The actors were good enough but it was a odd plot to follow and the whole "story" was dumb.
got dragged to see it with the wife, could possibly have been means for divorce
Worst movie I`ve ever walked out on
Horrible movie. I am highly disappointed in J. Roberts. I will be careful about seeing any of her flicks in the future. TRASH!!!!
AWESOME...so real
brutally honest. startlingly abraisive. Darkly beautiful. strangly conmforting. best movie I`ve seen in a very long time.
This was an excellent movie. The story was good. It is not a happy film but it is realistic. It is life. I loved this movie!!
I thought Closer thought provoking, totally engrossing. The men are consumed with possession of women. Owen`s character has stronger credential`s than Law`s in this department--more money, confidence, agression--even hair. Perhaps too much freedom is the devil in faint disguise. When we are unemcumbered by tradition or rules, we can do what we want. We don`t know what we want. We need structure. That is the knotty central issue. Characters have lots of fun though. Not all misery.
Great Movie! Very Realistic, NOT A EYE CANDY! The plot was very real and if you specially gone through situation like the ones shown in the movie you will understand it very well. People who say it`s a waste of money fot this movie obviously don`t think out of the box. they are simply not upto that level of maturity to accept bitter things in life....Great movie Go watch it.
Contemplated suicide during this movie. It would have been less painful than watching this piece of garbage
I dont normally write a review about movies and Im not overly critical but I honestly have to say this was one of the worst movies Ive ever seen. Save your money. Its not even worth renting. If youre expecting a romance with a good plot think again. Once again Im warning you to save your money
Fantastic movie. Well written and acted. The performances are strong, especially Portman and Clive Owen. Yes, it is vulgar and mean at times, but, for many of people who have had tough relationships, that is reality. I think people may not like the fim because it says what people are thinking, but too afraid to say - a really good movie. One warning, don`t bring a date to this, it is definately not a relationhsip builder!
I thought I was going to see a great flick with alot of romance and a good plot, but it had none of that. The characters had no emotions at all, no expressions. It was all monologue, I didn`t know what the characters were thinking or feeling, dont waste your money and dont drag your boyfriend to see it.
SUPER, EXCELLENT , THIS MOVIE WAS SOO GOOD, JUDE LAW WAS EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD IN THIS FILM, THE LOVE STORY BROUHT ME TO TEARS. MAKE MORE MOVIES LIKE THIS..AND MORE PEOPLE WILL GO TO MOVIE THEATRES.
A really bad movie, no point to it! waste of money
I really did not understand the point to this movie. The reviews I read only stated that 3-5 people were walking out of the theatre..i witnessed dozens walking out, but i kept hanging on for the point. Julia and Jude had no chemistry, in fact, she looked a decade older than him in this movie.....I understand the human raw emotion in it but still would not suggest anyone go see it...
I think those that rated this as "the worst movie ever" must have been men. This movie shows exactly how men behave.
Most will either love or hate this movie, depending on whether or not you can identify and understand it. If not, it is nearly vulgar and you thinking what the heck are these people doing. If you`ve been in any kind of situation where these emotions or situations have come up, then you will identify and love the movie, though you probably won`t come away from it happy and laughing. Very well done. Certainly a movie for adults though, younger people will not get it or the emotions portrayed.
