Review of Close

Close (I) (2022)
10/10
Speechless.
2 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
As a semi-closeted gay guy having been dealing with alienation and depression my whole life and trying to get close to people without reciprocation, this hit me like a ton of bricks. I've never seen a movie hit the nail on the head in such a way before. I've been crying non-stop because of how real it is.

The acting is out of this world especially from those young boys. But people who can keep it dry during Kevin Janssens' dinner table scene, lack any empathy whatsoever.

I hope this will provide more people with much needed insight. They better give Lukas an Oscar for this. If only to show and tell this story on an even bigger global stage.
