Well that film broke me internally. Damn you manipulative string music!!! I made noises I didn't know I could make. Seriously though it's a must watch. The Directing here by Lukas Dhont is absolutely formidable, he has got an absolute worldy performance from young Eden Dambrine. A very close friendship between two thirteen-year old boys Leo and Remi gets tested to the limit. It's almost unreviewable due to spoiler risks. Cry tally : 6

Interesting story, not necessarily too original but quite well acted.

Very well acted by the young protagonist. The film could have been a little shorter in my opinion. A few ice hockey fragments less would have been fine. Still a very good movie though.

Right after I watched this movie I was feeling so saddened and moved that I rated it as a 9 but after two hours of reflecting on the subject I realised that it just was sad, nothing more. Yeah it was well-performed and thought after but that's it. Suicide, sexual orientation, bullying, puberty, grie More

I don't rate a film 10/10 unless it's wonderful and my reviews tend to be motivated by either abject disappointment or outright admiration. I think that's very much most people's experience of film, you either love it or you don't.

With Close, there's everything to love and it is an exercise in p More

"Close" is certainly an interesting film, covering numerous intriguing topics such as growing up, young friendship/love, toxic gender roles, estrangement, as well as mental health. However, I found myself bored for long stretches of the runtime. This was not due to the young lead actor, Eden Dambrin More

Well, that was an emotional roller-coaster of a movie. I genuinely cannot tell you the last time I cried so much watching a film.
