CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com audio film review for “Close,” one of the five nominees for Best International Feature at the upcoming 95th Oscars, written and directed by Lukas Dhont. In wide theater release in the U.S. beginning February 3rd.

HollywoodChicago.com Oscarman rating: 4.5/5.0
Rating: 4.5/5.0

Two boys, Léo (the star making performance of Eden Dambrine) and Rémi (Gustav de Waele) are best friends, idling away the summer hours in love with life and their company with each other. After that magic summer, they enter middle school, where their friendship is put under scrutiny by the alpha males, questioning the nature of their togetherness, characterizing it as gay. This affects Léo the most, and nothing will the same afterward.

”Close” opens in wide release on February 3rd, see local listings. Featuring Eden Dambrine, Gustav de Waele, Émilie Dequenne, Léa Drucker and Kevin Janssens. Written and directed by Lukas Dhont. Rated “PG-13”
