“In place of the sentimentality that often comes with boyhood portraits, Dhont’s film renders a boyhood experience in thrillingly crisp, grown-up terms.”
★★★★★ Robbie Collin, Daily Telegraph
“An exceptional film of empathy and vision.”
★★★★★ Nicholas Barber, BBC.com
“There’s no doubting the force of this drenchingly sad story.”
★★★★ Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
“Despite a hugely harrowing storyline, Close somehow musters the strength to take care of its audience and leave us with something beautiful and brave.”
★★★★ Ella Kemp, Empire Magazine
“To the pantheon of films about the pains of leaving childhood behind -- The 400 Blows, The Spirit of the Beehive, Rocks, The Go-Between, Boyhood et al -- we should find a spot for this beautiful elegy of lost innocence from Belgian director Lukas Dhont.”
★★★★ Philip De Semlyn, Time Out
