The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
