I do not share all the positive comments on this movie. Yes, 'Close' is not a bad movie. I did like it a lot more than 'Girl', also a picture of Lukas Dhont. But Close could and should have been a lot better.
The character drawing of the parents leaves much to be desired. I am so much more touched when I see the movies of the brothers Dardenne, the best directors of Belgium. For example 'Tori et Lokita', the latest movie of the brothers Dardenne, is so much better than 'Close'. No, not an Oscar winning movie for me... And the storytelling is not good enough for me.
I hope that the next movie of Lukas Dhont will be more mature and elaborated.
