The Closer You Get

About This Movie

The Closer You Get (2023) dives deep into the murky waters of trust and self-perception. Lo, the protagonist, is navigating a tough emotional landscape, marked by hallucinations and insecurities that really add a layer of unease. The atmosphere feels thick, almost suffocating at times, which really pulls you into her turmoil. The pacing is a bit slow but it works; it allows that tension to build, making the moments of clarity all the more jarring. The use of practical effects, though not overdone, accentuates Lo’s struggles without overshadowing the intimacy of her relationship with Emma. Performances, especially from the lead, are raw and compelling, drawing you into this toxic dynamic that grips you tightly and doesn't let go.
