Simply put, the movie is not for everyone (especially not for seeing with a parent or young child) it's a mature adult flick, and does not back down from anything. He and Portman have amazing scenes together, and he's always on par. The only reason he does not stand out is the fact that we've all expected him to do a good performance. Jude Law is simply very very good neither astounding nor bad. Owen perfectly plays the sleazy, unlikeable character, but somehow manages to appeal to the audience and even though he's a disagreeable character, I think many managed to find something all right about him - Owen's human sense in Larry. As the man of experience and 'simplicity', as Jude Law's character comments, he's brash and hotheaded, but also extremely clever.

Clive Owen is absolutely astounding, and he's definitely on everyone's radar screen. She's very understated and good, but she is outshone in nearly every scene by whomever she's acting with. song closer Yggdrassil - Song of Beer, Renaissance - Closer Than Yesterday, Sarah Vaughan - Give Me A Song With A Beautiful Melody. Julia Roberts, whom everyone looks towards, is not bad in this film. She comes alive with the two guys, and their scenes are ones to look forward to. She has the best chemistry with the men - whether it be purely sensual with Clive Owen, or innocence and affection with Jude Law.

Anyways, her Alice is flirty and sweet, caustic and manipulative, evasive and yet very open, sexual and gloomy all in one character. Maybe it's because she's the youngest, and not expected to be that awesome, but she is. Natalie Portman, in a tour-de-force performance, is the standout by far. It's the feeling you get when you get 'closer', I suppose. It uplifts and then brings you way down, but that's the point, and yet at the end, I didn't feel depressed or saddened, just really really awake and curious. It captured all of the vulnerability, caustic harshness, and acerbic flirtation that the play vibrated with. It's a brutal topic, sex and love, especially when they're combined. Mike Nichols presents it in an amazing way, very faithful to the words as they're written (and they should be, for the movie is also written by the man who wrote the play, the brilliant Patrick Marber). Having read the play, I've been looking forward to it for about a year now, and it's honestly one of the best plays I've ever read. I think a lot of people have been shocked, frankly, by the raw and rough nature of the film. I've been hearing lots of negativity about this movie.
