Road To The Oscars: Belgium's Oscar-nominated film 'Close' 

I'm glad to got to see the film. It was emotionally heavy but very beautiful. I hope many people see it, and I hope our society can reflect on the themes it explores.

This movie was beautifully written and shot!

The parents of Remi deserves recognition as well

02:13 Gustav's reaction when Lukas called Eden an angel 😅

Those young actors were so good. An excellent film.

“Close” was neck and neck to “Tar” for me simply for best films of the year. Both profound in their own ways brimming with emotion. I hope “Close” gets the recognition it deserves. Beautiful and touching film

I don't think Dustav DeWaele (Remi) gets the credit he deserves. He was only in the film for about half and hour. Don't want to give the film away but he had a scene that I'll never forget, I don't know what he was drawing on to do the scene but he's an amazing actor!

I'm so exited to see these interviews are starting to pop up.There hasn't been too many interviews yet where you get to hear from these two young actors :)

It’s the world judgement made them change the perspective of how they see their closeness to each other. I was there when I was 16, my childhood best friend exchange me for his popularity and see me as treat for his growth. Saw myself in those two. The story made me realize how the words from other people can change someone’s perspective.

Gustav is so Remi... nice, sweet, charismatic. But Eden is completely different from Leo, Leo is shy, serious, Eden is outgoing, funny, with a great sense of humor.😂

I literally just finished watching it and I wish I hadnt watched it at midnight, because I wont sleep for the rest of the night. It was a beautiful movie in every way but emotionally devastating.

What an amazing movie. So sad but beautiful. These 2 young actors are amazing and they speak 4 languages fluently. Awesome.

the actors are so well spoken for their age wow 👏 👏

BRING REMI BACK I CAN'T LIVE KNOWING WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM I SWEAR IM SUFFERING AS IF IT WAS MY FRIEND

I knew All Quiet was going to win the oscar, but I wish this would've!! An amazing movie and an important story to tell. Thank you to everyone involved :)

Nice to see these kids having a good time. I’m looking forward to seeing it

It was a masterfully produced film and the boys did such a great job. Not many films make me cry and this one did. It reminds me of my childhood and pain I felt as friendships changed or vanished with people I cared a lot about.

Great, heartbreaking, beautiful film and much needed in conversations around male loneliness in the US and elsewhere

Just finished the movie...cry so hard

The best film of 2022 for me! 🥰

Es una película tan cruda y Real con unas actuaciones magistrales.

Eden Dambrine should have been Oscar nominated for Close and won

To anyone who has not watched this film yet, what are you waiting for? You won't be disappointed

A totally remarkable film. Devastatingly upsetting . . .

Movie was very good the message was very clear well done to both actors I almost shed a tear I had catch myself

Best cast for actor selection...love this beautiful movie

AMAZING FILM.......IT SHOULD HAVE WON!!!!!

Wish it won Oscar, but all quiet on western front is guaranteed win since it’s nominated in best picture too. Tho all quiet is also on my top 3 movies 2022.

Gustav is so handsome

Beautiful film

Close is THE BEST

Que filme mais lindo e maravilhoso também e os ator estão de parabéns por fazer esse filme muito criativo e muito emocionante mesmo já virei fã dos dois atores que são muito incríveis, maravilhosos, legais, humildes, adoráveis, amáveis,honestos, educados, simpáticos, fiéis, alegres, felizes e muito engraçados e muito talentosos também.🙏🇧🇷😊😊😊😁😁😁❤️❤️❤️

Ein emotionaler Film, bei dem ich ein paar mal weinen musste und mich auch ein paar Tage beschäftigt hat! Niemand hat das Recht, weil man vielleicht nicht in ihre Welt passt, eine so enge Freundschaft zu zerstören!! So eine besondere Verbindung kann es auch zwischen Jungen und nicht nur bei Mädchen geben!! Leider wird das, obwohl man meint das die Kinder oder auch Erwachsenen heute aufgeklärter sind, immer noch falsch gedeutet. Musste diese Erfahrung auch selbst machen. Unsere Freundschaft ist seitdem nicht mehr so wie früher Der Film wurde auf jeden Fall sehr weltnah und von zwei tollen talentierten Jungen verkörpert!

I saw this film and highly recommend you see it. ❤

THE NEW ERA😘😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍LOVE GUYS😘😘😘😘

I just saw this film a few days ago. Was NOT what I thought it was going to be as I knew nothing about it's background. Beautifully written, acted by newcomers with virtually no rehearsal which brought out the natural personality of the boys. And so, so heartbreaking. Stunning portrayal of an intensely intimate friendship that most young men can relate to as teens, destroyed by labels that society never fails to inflict on innocence and purity that is so frustrating. I'm not prone to watching films that touch on the subject matter that this film implies. But after watching how the excruciating sadness unfolds in this film has changed my views regarding toxic masculinity, which I really didn't understand until now and softened my somewhat lifelong stance on what some would consider negative thoughts regarding male bonding and true friendship that I now know is real and can be just as devastating for anyone when that relationship falls apart, regardless of who they are. It was unbearable to watch the building grief and guilt young Leo endured throughout the last third of the film. Eden Dambrinne carried the weight of this entire film and deserves every accolade he can acquire. Both boys conveyed a very rare and unique ability to show genuine affection and devotion that I wished now that I could've experienced as a child. I had good friendships as a child but never anything like this, so pure and unburdened by how society thinks it should be. I'm convinced now, after never really caring that we place way too much criticism on male friendships that are obviously solid and carefree. So unnecessary when most relationships these days are so negative and dysfunctional. Doesn't matter if you're straight or gay (I'm straight) or anywhere in between. This is a must watch film that will change your attitude for the better. It changed me. The fact that absolutely no political or ideological agenda was shoved down the throats of the viewer, that the director stuck to simply telling the story of love and innocence and ultimate tragedy between two young friends was extremely refreshing. Every scene was tightly controlled with no unnecessary dialog or explanation whatsoever which did help you connect with the theme of the film and the characters. It did leave some unanswered questions. But maybe that was deliberate in the sense that it was left to the viewer to interpret what they were seeing. But regardless, anyone finding any fault with this wonderful depiction of childhood loss and grief just has no clue of how life works. Kudos to Lukas Dhont for a rare film that I'm sure alot of people can relate to.

I have yet to see this film, but I really like to see it. I think my own adolescence has similar ties to this film. I may have to watch the Oscar's to see the cast, and what happens with the nomination 🤔

I want the happy ending where remi and leo grow up and stay together 😖😖😖😖

It's too bad they *obviously cut that [outside] interview short* just for a *corporate purpose.* _Corporate commercial time is more important to them than actually teaching [and representing?] a society._

Amazing

i really love it ❤❤❤

Best film !!!!

BEST ACTORS - GUSTAV- AND EDEN ...🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

If the casting of Eden Dambrine had happened in England the press would have roasted Dhont as a creepy predator. Things are still more innocent in Europe for now. This is a great film.

An amazing film , and amazing boys and film director, I’m gay and it was so real. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

BEST MOVIE - CLOSE

와 애들 많이 컸다

What an important poignant message

Z😍😍😍😍😍😍YESSSSS

I'll probably never get to see this in the United States just like I never got to see the documentary Danseur. Prove me wrong. 😕

The fact that homophobes are blaming acceptance of homosexuality on the tragedy is so irritating. The movie was literally co-written and directed by a homosexual person.

Good work Belgium 😕👍

i want to Fix It today Don't want to me out in Double Trouble again.

😒 tumhe pta b h y movie dekhne k bd muje kitna dukh hua asa dukh mt dia kro

Gwynet Paltrow is somewhere kicking herself for not having called her kid Eden. As ridiculous pretentious names go, it's much better than apple.

asexual ❤❤but little behind it

Bandeau gênant.

Sorry but the movie was very boring

Oscars is a falling apart & woke 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥⚡

This film moves me to tears many times. I had a relationship like that at the same age. Just that same powerful, innocent and beautiful closeness, that made people wonder about the nature of it, during the onset of adolescence. I yearn for those days when you weren't afraid to show your platonic mate affection without the scorn of judgement of others. The end of innocent childhood and the beginning of having to deal with things like toxic masculinity and homophobia.
