About This Movie

So, 'Close' (2022) dives into the lives of Sam and Jamie, two 30-somethings who find themselves locked in a stairwell, and man, it’s much more than just a physical confinement. The film has this raw, intimate tone. It plays with space and silence, which often feels heavier than dialogue. Their conversations ebb and flow, revealing layers of their relationship that they probably weren't ready to confront. Practical effects are minimal, but the real artistry lies in the performances; there's a certain vulnerability that draws you in. The pacing is deliberate, almost like you're sitting with them, sharing that uncomfortable moment. It’s a reflective take on friendship and intimacy, and the idea of proximity vs. emotional distance really resonates here.
