How can I describe this masterpiece? I’ve spent so much time in my life till now, watching different movies from different countries, never thought I would be moved by a film from my very own region. This movie is psychological, this movie is about society issues, this movie looks like a documentary and at the same time, it’s no documentary. This movie can help you understand that what people do is not to be judged so easily. This movie slaps you in the face about not forgetting what it means to live in a society which citizens are walking lies, because they can’t follow their dreams, and when they want to be themselves, they are perceived as liars. It reminds you how we all look down on someone because he doesn’t hold a college degree, or he’s not a celebrity, or because he’s dealing with poverty, not ever thinking that he’s human too. Do we ever realize, maybe it’s all of us who are responsible for such sick society? This movie can make you a film maker, it can make you a human, it can make you deeper. Close-up is genre-less. It never tries to teach you anything or evoke certain emotions, you’re free to imagine and decide. This movie mixes fiction and reality, to the point that you can’t see the differences between lies and truths, to get to the biggest truth that we’re all looking for in heavens not knowing it’s here, within us: Human compassion.
