Are humans meant to mate for life - What drives someone in a perfectly good relationship to cheat and risk losing the one that they love 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 is suddenly 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.

An occasionally insightful drama of adultery and hurtful jealousy among the young and privileged that worked better on stage than it does on film.

Closer or Further? 3.5 Stars
Closer is creepy and honest in the way your still-single chain smoking auntie is creepy and honest; with a cynical heart, and clipped words. Most of the movie ... read more »

Horrific Language and sexual discussions
Horrific language/ sexual discussions and appalling that it is rated a 15.
A very good cast who have let themselves down.
Kyra Sedgwick was "disappointed" by her uneventful day spent shadowing a New York City reporter - because she was hoping to witness a murder. The Closer actress plays an on-air broadcaster in the upcoming drama Man on a Ledge and she tagged along with two professionals at local TV station NY1 in a bid to understand the inner-workings of the field for her character. However, the star's experience was much less dramatic than she had hoped. She says, "I called them up and I said, 'I'm playing a... Read more
