Reviews
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
