Please don't spend money on this.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
