About This Movie

Close To Me is a tense blend of romance and psychological thriller that digs into the complexities of relationships during isolation. Sardo crafts a claustrophobic atmosphere, especially with the lockdown setting, which heightens the emotional stakes. Luca, portrayed with a relatable weariness, feels the strain of his wife’s affluence while becoming entangled with the enigmatic Amanda next door. The performances here are solid, with nuanced tension simmering beneath the surface. I appreciated the way the film handles themes of desire and desperation without falling into melodrama. There’s a palpable sense of unease that lingers long after the credits roll, making it a distinctive watch amidst the typical romantic fare.
