I too actually really liked it.

I was all about Clive Owen (OMG he's gorgeous, but yeah he could have been a bit more naked. LOL)

I think what I liked was the honesty, so to speak, about the movie. I think the movie pretty accurately showed what having an affair does to a relationship. What lying does to a relationship. These four people ruined each others lives. It's not a happy movie by any stretch of the imagination.

Plus, I think the acting is incredible.

Natalie Portman is amazing (which I guess, even though it came out earlier, makes up for her lack of anything in Star Wars). This movie showed what a gifted actress she is.

Clive Owen was also amazing. You watch the two US movies he has done thus far (King Arthur and this one) and you see how versatile he is.

Even though I liked it, it's not a movie I'd want to own. It's like Passion of the Christ, where you really only can watch it one time because it's just so depressing. Movies like this tend to zap my energy. I walked out of the theater sad because the is depressing.

[mini hijack] On a seperate but ironic note, in King Arthur he falls for Kiera Knightley's character and in Closer he sleeps with Natalies character. Anyone notice how similiar Kiera and Natalie are. For those Star Wars fans Kiera actually played the Queen Amidala double in episode one. Six degrees of Star Wars here I come [end mini hijack]

anyways, there are my thoughts.
