CLOSER (2000)

Two men and two women, all strangers, are thrown together by chance and connect, disconnect, and reconnect in bewildering combinations as they keep trying to get closer. All privacies are public. All secrets revealed. With every modern tool available, these four Londoners search for new levels of intimacy, while keenly aware of their increasing isolation.

Brisk, urbane, witty, and obscene, CLOSER is a thrilling, intimate, caustically funny love story for today, revealing how little we sometimes know, in the information age, about each other and ourselves.

• Maggie's Reviews:

"Maggie Gyllenhaal gave an outstanding performance as Alice. She gave an eye-catching, intriguing realization of a waif who is very elusive and father seeking." — TalkinBroadway.com
