In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
