Re: Closer - did anyone actually like this film?

I too enjoyed this film. I think that this was Portman's best performance, requiring her to believably project a range of emotions, which still was able to do. This role estalblishes her as an actress with more to offer than a pretty face.

I actually thought everyone in the film did a good job. Their roles are not the ones that require "great acting", but rather chemistry and competence, and they succeeded.

The film is not boring if one likes intelligently written dialog, which is increasingly rare in film. More and more filmgoers do not want to see a film which is mostly comprised of people talking. There are no explosions, no intrigue, no surprises, no exotoc locations. Just intelligent people taken over by their emotions, talking.

And the scene with Jude Law and Clive Owen on the computer was a hoot.
