One of the worst movies I've ever seen
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
