What to Know

Critics Consensus

Close puts a welcome female-fronted spin on the prototypical action thriller; unfortunately, the rest of the movie's ingredients are tediously predictable.

Roxana Hadadi Pajiba Feb 7, 2019
Noomi Rapace is a badass bodyguard in Netflix's Close, but the movie's low-key racism counteracts its 'Yay, strong women!' message. Go to Full Review
Karen Han Polygon Jan 23, 2019
Close isn't so much an emotional puzzle to be solved as it is a box for Rapace to fight her way out of. But there isn't enough space for the most interesting commentary to flourish. Go to Full Review

3/4
Close is strong on all counts, until it seems to lose its nerve and decides to explain a character who was more compelling when the film let her be a lethal question mark. Go to Full Review
Lael Loewenstein FilmWeek (LAist) Sep 14, 2019
This a straight-out action thriller and... I would say not one of the better ones. Go to Full Review
Dan Ashby Cultured Vultures Aug 17, 2019
The clever use of sound and a gripping performance from Rapace almost redeem it, but a weak script and an anti-climatic finale lets down what could have been a very promising film. Go to Full Review

3.5/5

Kylo G Apr 28, 2019 a good ride. fast paced LOVE a strong leading woman just wished there was more between the characters . . . maybe a scene or two when they actually talk and get a little bit deeper. But this is a great romp See more
Leia L Apr 12, 2019 Really liked it. Basic story line but a really good action movie.
Anakin W Apr 1, 2019 Noomi , I'm a big fan.
Poe S Mar 31, 2019 Rapace is so good - but this script falls apart towards the end - and fizzles when it should get tight. Rapace and her co-star are forced to over-capitalize on their relationship... See more
Draco R Mar 25, 2019 Great concept. Great actors. Really confusing presentation & ending. It initially seemed that the beginning was from the middle of the story followed by a flashback to explain it. Not really clear on that until the end. The ending was poor because it didn't tie up completely what led to the whole scenario, nor did it really exonerate the stepmother. All of it could have been a LOT better than it was. Don't know whether it was the script or the Director, but it was not well presented & ended feeling incomplete. See more
Albus G Mar 15, 2019 strong women lead done well. I thought it was pretty good for what it was. i think there cold have been more character development. Overall the film was enjoyable to watch. See more
