Closer

Closer (2004) is Mike Nichols' sharp-tongued romantic drama you can watch online on iFILM. Four people in London, one ugly truth: none of them knows what they actually want.

Obituary writer Dan (Jude Law) spots stripper Alice (Natalie Portman) on a street corner and falls for her on the spot. Then comes photographer Anna (Julia Roberts), then blunt dermatologist Larry (Clive Owen), and the four start trading partners, wounding each other and lying in exhausting detail. Most of the film is just talk. Brutal, intimate, often cruel.

Adapted by Patrick Marber from his own stage play, the movie won Golden Globes for Portman and Owen and remains one of the most unflinching looks at love, sex and betrayal of its decade. Stream Closer (2004) online on iFILM.
