Review of Close to Me

Close to Me (2021)
8/10
Low-key dramatic stunner
5 October 2022
If you write, film and broadcast a truly adult drama, plaudits are going to be thin on the ground. This is such a drama - a haunting and troubling dissection of a marriage. The star, in every sense, is Connie Nielsen who once freed from the constraints of Hollywood has grown into an extraordinary actress. This is uncomfortable viewing but stay to the end and you'll be rewarded. This story will resonate for a long, long time - not because of what happens but because of why and how it happens. No easy answers or even real certainty. Instead, it looks slightly different every time you look at it. Just like real life.
