Review of Closer (2004) by Monique S — 18 May 2012
Portman's petite figure fits the needy fragile twenty-something woman well and she plays her part quite convincingly, as does Owen. However, Roberts gives an ineffective performance, especially for a actor of her repute, much like that of Law.
I would have wished the movie more erotically intense, perhaps a little more dark and disturbing, the lines read with more conviction, or maybe just better lines altogether and less I-love-you's thrown around way too casually for my liking.
The movie felt like a good idea insufficiently stringed out.
