Released in 2001, Closer is a notable film directed by Tina Gharavi, running about 24 minutes.

What it’s about. This stunningly shot experimental documentary has at its heart a poignant character study of a 17 year-old lesbian living in Newcastle, England. Fiction and documentary collide in this gripping film as “scenes” from the main subject’s life are re-enacted for the camera. What emerges is a remarkable encounter with a young woman, and a story that has broader implications about being young, being at the cusp of adulthood, and finding one’s identity; about how documentaries reveal, provoke and conceal.

How it landed. With an audience score of 4.0/10, Closer has proved divisive with audiences.
