Entertainment Reviews:
Closer, a lacerating four-character suite on the elusiveness of love and intimacy, finds Nichols returning to his roots without having lost his sardonic edge.
AV Club
Rating: 3.5/4 --
Each frame of the film seems infused with vibrant life, even when the tone switches from dark to darker.

The Dispatch (Lexington, NC)
All the actors do fine work, but Owen's quixotic and brooding quality is particularly effective here.
USA Today
Thanks to Marber's whiplash dialogue, the cast suffer with an eloquence that's uncommon in the movies, but that's about as far as it goes.

Sydney Morning Herald
Owen and Portman give excellent, committed performances, leaving Law and Roberts in the shade.

Time Out
The place, the costumes, the staging of sexual provocation and betrayal are refined studies in luxurious understatement.
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: 3.5/4 --
Vibrates with eroticism, bruising laughs and dynamite performances from four attractive actors doing decidedly unattractive things.

Product Description:
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.
