Review of Close-Up

Close-Up (1990)
8/10
Really well-made human drama.

My Rating : 8/10

Very engaging once you become familiar with the characters and plot. This is a wonderful film of a very special kind. Not your average movie in the sense that it is highly realistic (documentary/fiction) and its subject matter is unique. The standout feature for me is the humanity with which it is shot and delivered : a world of humility, pride and grace is portrayed with a real human touch. It brings home the fact that whatever we might think of people and their ability to act as horribly as possible, there's perhaps always something very touching in the background to empathise with.

Unique, exceptional and touches your heart on some level.
