Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Love me, love my food, a simple rule for life. Amy (Heather Graham) lives in a delusional world where she has her own TV cooking show which openly equates food with sex. Her boyfriend Fred (Kevin Dillon) doesn't share in her compulsion and makes the mistake of openly loving his rare African parrot more than her food. The police (Joe Mantegna) is investigating the disappearance of the neighbor Saffron (Carrie-Anne Moss). Amy claims she knows Saffron, but clearly what she relates to the police is not the reality. Saffron is an actress who has fallen on hard times. Amy cooks for her not realizing Saffron is a closet bulimic, well not actually a bulimic in that she doesn't binge eat.The film has great scenes of Heather's cleavage, cooking food and relating it to sex, eat your heart out Rachel Ray. Outside of that, the plot displayed weakness. You have a basic idea where the story is going to lead, just unsure how it gets there. Good character portrayals, unfortunately the script didn't measure up. The film is classified as a drama/thriller but is more like a hit or miss dark comedy.Worth a rental for quirky indie style film lovers.Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex. No nudity.

I found this movie on Netflix, with only two stars so I didn't have high expectations. But I liked the actors so I gave it a chance. I can see why a lot of people don't get this film. It's dark and twisted, and some parts you have to use your imagination about what happened. It doesn't spoon feed you anything. It also starts out quite funny, so audiences might be surprised when it gets serious. Heather Graham is surprisingly good in this movie. I've really only known her for playing air headed characters, and at first that's what you get. But she has more range than I originally gave her credit for as the somewhat unbalanced Amy. Carrie-Anne Moss is brilliant as the tortured Saffron. My heart ached for her by the end. The acting really is superb, and the storyline is not your usual fare. But well worth a watch.

Compulsion? Yes Amy is obsessed with cooking and foodR Rating? Not even the slightest. It has some terrible oral sex scenes (no nudity) and a rape scene (again no nudity and goes for about 4 seconds as its a flashback)Unrealistic? Very. The character Amy is delusional and wears although stunning dresses, she wears these everyday while cooking and staying at home all day with her hair and make up. Looking like a 50s housewife but in a modern unrealistically empty and plain apartment.The ending? I'll be honest. It's confusing and initially I had no idea what happened. I actually rewound it twice to figure it out. SPOILER ALERT- Although the ending is vague. This is what happened. The neighbour Saffron asked Amy to eat her when she asked "Help me do something" and Saffron gave Amy a necklace, so that Amy would always remember Saffron. Amy says she will do anything for Saffron and well, she already ate a bird, so why not a human.Then she feeds the cop the human meat, which was Saffron and when he doesn't finish it, she puts it down the grinder.The biggest key was when she said, "That bird just disappeared like Saffron". Eerie music plays and the cop realises he just ate human and runs off. Overall, don't waste your time. Ending was good but way to slow and boring. Would have made a good 40 minute Tales of Crept episode though.

actor and actress exaggerating every single line and facial expression the plot is so predictable and majority of the scenes are so 'UN-NATURAL' High-School Play would be better than this. the 'Matrix' lady really seemed to try in a given roll in this ridiculous clip but... she is just human. words just can not describe how awful this was even though i skipped through the scenes after 40 min. If the directors, producers or actors, actress somehow got a compliment, forget it. and keep that person as far as you can from you for your own careers sakes, because they are just saying it to flatter you. if you want to be trolled this is the movie i recommend you. I want a refund. ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A MAN, WATCH IT WHEN YOU WANT A NEW TV.
