is a unique take on grief, containing insight into projection and transference, as well as the way obsession is almost a relief from having to face the unfaceable.

If certain aspects of “Come Closer” feel naive, those are balanced by a bold contemporary take on its young characters, whose attraction needn’t be defined by old-fashioned labels.

Come Closer brings a world far from the U.S. a little bit nearer with a story that so many can understand, as loss and grievance have no bounds, but people grieve the same everywhere and at every age.

We see the end result but not enough of the development leading up to it. Eden has cut a swath of personal destruction that leaves little room for one single incident to sell the transition to empathy.

In its small and intimate way, this becomes a surprisingly wise film...

This is a film that never becomes a sermon of emotional diatribes, but instead a complex and passionate deconstructing of loss. Come Closer breathes a unique breath into a familiar theme of grief, taking us on a journey through pain and love.

It's remarkable that they managed to make a movie like this while committing a genocide right next door.

Gripping, disturbing and beautiful. A coming of age story of agonizing grief, friendship and love.
