Reviews

"'Close' is truly a directorial tour de force. Dhont knew what he wanted to say and said it with grace, dignity, and depth."

Neely Swanson, Beverly Hills Courier

"A tactile, subtle, moving film about shattered innocence, the pressures of masculinity and how wondrous but fragile that intimate friendship among young boys can be."

Thelma Adams, AARP Movies for Grownups
