Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
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 to 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
Product Description:
Sony Pictures Closer (Blu-ray)
Are humans meant to mate for life? What drives someone in a perfectly good relationship to cheat and risk losing the one that theylove 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 issuddenly 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.

I can't think of a worse movie. I can't believe that I sat through the whole thing, but I guess I was hoping that there would be something redeeming about it. I was wrong. It sucked until the bitter, awful end.

Plenty of reviews of the movie already, so either you like it or you didn't. I couldn't really see any reason to have bought this in Blu-Ray. There were no alternate endings or anything, it's just a drama, so the graphic impact of the upgraded player are minimal.... This seems like a waste of money when a regular DVD would have done just as well.

It is unlikely I have seen a more misogynistic film since Neil LaBute's In the Company of Men, but director Mike Nichols uses his uncanny ability to delve deep into the human condition to come up with a challenging, superbly acted and at times surprisingly empathetic film about four self-absorbed, unsympathetic people. I'm not sure what other director could have been better qualified to translate Patrick Marber's stinging, cynical play set in an urban chic London. As he has proven from his 1966 debut, ... Read More

The only good thing I can say about this movie is that it's reassuring to think that no events similar to the events in this movie have ever happened. Not that no one has ever cheated, lied and generally behaved like a scumball, but that no one has done so for such incomprehensible and arbitrary reasons or with such utterly unconvincing dialog. In fact, "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" had rather more realistic dialog than this movie. In scene after scene, we're supposed to believe that there is sexual tension ... Read More

This movie is not your typical love story but it is a love story. It shows the complexity behind our relationships and what makes some work and some not. Honesty, even when painful, is depicted as the key ingredient as well as fearless love in the face of rejection and being willing to fight for someone rather than walk away. It has so many great lines..Natalie's charactor gets the majority of them. Like when she tells her cheating boyfriend who tries to say he couldn't help it that there is always a moment ... Read More
