QuickView
Story-line: in life, there are secrets that only a brother and a sister can share.
Pluses: solid acting by the whole cast (a great turn for Alan Rickman), an apocalyptic mood, astounding visuals, a haunting classical score by Michael Gibbs.
Minuses: none whatsoever, although the film’s subject matter may be too daring for some viewers.
Comments: in the realm of literature, some of the most celebrated love stories are also the most unusual or controversial. If it were a book, CLOSE MY EYES would be one of those cherished classics. Do see it if you feel adventurous.
