Well, I just got back from the cinema, went to see Closer starring Jude Law, Natalie Portman, Julia Roberts and Clive Owen.
Natalie Portman was particularly excellent in the film, delivered her lines with strength and emotion. However the breakthrough actor here was Clive Owen, the power of his delivery mixed with impeccable comic timing made his role the most entertaining in the film.
However, at times the choppy nature of the narrative, while completely intended, did lessen my ability to feel anything towards the erosion of each character’s relationship. Generally it was a great film, if a little tough to follow at times due to the time jumps with no visual cues to narrate the user until someone mentions the time passed since the previous scene.
