Closer
Directed by Mike Nichols
Smart-but-ineffectual journalist Dan "We use euphemisms!" cannot decide between his girlfriend, loving-but-clingy waitress Alice, or his lover cold-but-intellectual photographer Anna; herself indecisive between Dan and honest-but-thuggish "You're bloody gorgeous!" doctor Larry. The film puts the four leading characters in a box and strips them apart.

Closer Ratings & Reviews
- cultfilmlikerSeptember 14, 2025WARNING: THIS FILM WILL MAKE YOU WANT TO TRY ANONYMOUS SEX Love, sex, and paranoia Man, I thought I had a problem with lying lol “🎶’SMACK MY BITCH UP’🎶” …10 minutes later… “🎶’I am human and I need to be looooved / just like everybody else doeesss’🎶” People were using “Fuckboy” in 2004?? lmao Also hearing two Americans refer to it as ‘the loo’ is so off lol What incredible acting. Clive Owen is a fucking killer. Natalie Portman is a different level of beautiful, which is a wild thing to say in a film where she co-stars with Julia Roberts and Jude Law lmao Should probably rewatch Black Swan Strangely reminded me of Margaret in more ways than one!
