Closure

Good film. I find it is easy for indie films to fail at comedy. But this delivers well, and with solid acting. The story is funny and the production value pretty good. A great job looking at family relationships and how they work (or don't). Good film worthy of a watch.

Closure is a unique indie film -- part off-beat comedy and part twist on the old LA based noir film. I seek out indie films like these because they bring different perspectives and different takes on genres. It always helps too when you see all those film festival laurels on the poster to know that it's going to be a good use of your time. Apparently the film won several awards too. The story is funny and engaging. It follows Nina, whose mother recently died, as she tries to track down her missing sister and encounters a bunch of unusual LA residents along the way. It's subtly absurdist and in many ways is a charming fish out of water comedy. I think it's definitely worth a watch.

I love the combination of comedy and drama. I mean that's pretty much what life is, right? This film definitely handled it well. I loved the setting and characters as well. I don't care how many times LA is used as the setting for a film. It is such an interesting place with so many different areas and people that some weird stuff is bound to happen. Closure does a really great job of capturing that LA feeling.

This film has garnered a lot of attention and awards at indie film festivals in the U.S. and abroad. I caught it at the Manhattan Film Festival last spring, and thought it was great. A set of quirky characters, and engaging plot, and just enough laughs to make it fun. Don't miss it, I'm hoping it will be widely available via streaming soon.

Terrific job by the writer-director and the whole cast on this fine indie. This movie has some fun sending up my hometown of L.A. And though I love Los Angeles, hey, we deserve a little skewering. But the film also deftly mixes drama and suspense as well. The end result is a very entertaining, delightfully fun movie with just a dash of edge. I loved it!
