Like dramas by Pinter and others, what seems trenchant and perfectly pitched in the theater can come off as arch even when skillfully transferred to film.
Todd McCarthy, Variety
Fresh
Closer, a lacerating four-character suite on the elusiveness of love and intimacy, finds Nichols returning to his roots without having lost his sardonic edge.
Scott Tobias, AV Club
Fresh
Vibrates with eroticism, bruising laughs and dynamite performances from four attractive actors doing decidedly unattractive things.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

If it makes you uncomfortable, or leaves you disturbed, it has only done its job.
