Closer / USA / 2004
Interesting yet slightly dull character study that aims for savage wit when it’s not reaching for profundity, but winds up falling short in both departments. Director Mike Nichols covered similar terrain in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, but playwright/screenwriter Patrick Marber is no Edward Albee, so it falls to the cast to make us care about these characters. The degree to which they succeed varies, but Clive Owen and Natalie Portman’s rich performances are worth the price of admission.
