Leave your thoughts about A Little Closer.
| Paste MagazineCurtis WoloschukRemarkably assured in terms of both tone and craft, A Little Closer suggests that Petock is poised to take a great leap forward with his next feature. |
| User ReviewJooHee CComing in at an unimpressive seventy minutes, you know you're not going to do well when you have to use filler shots every five minutes, most of which are Petock pointlessly trying to be arty. The story of Closer is bland, predictable and tedious, and while you can see what the director is trying to do, the poor dialogue and wooden leads do nothing to help. Numerous scenes drag and go nowhere, making this excruciating viewing at a glacial pace. |
