Closer (DVD)

I don't know what I was expecting,.....soemething alomg the lines of Love Actually perhaps? It has a great cast and is supposed to be an examination of the modern relationship....call me old fashioned, but this I do not belive is typical of the young relationship.
For a start off they are not that young!! And the relationships between the 4 of them lack depth or reason.....its seems totally shallow and it doesn't work.

The whole set up is taudry and not at all believable...and its not the acting, its the script. It was not romantic....and there is no sex......so what was it exactly? What genre does it fall into?

The characters show a promise of a morality, a principle and a rationale in the way relationships are conducted, but in fact underlying the relationships are characters that are weak self indulgent, shallow, insensitive and trite.

If I've missed anything profound then do let me know!!

The only good bit was the end when Alice Ayres goes back to America and hands her passport over to the US official.......it left me thinking.
