Metacritic
From the outset, the director lets us know that this won’t be some sensationalistic crime story. Close-Up is more about the power of images, and how what’s on the screen at any given moment can hold our attention completely, even if it has nothing to do with “the story.”

Does Close-Up reveal the truth? I’d prefer to say it reveals the beauty of distortion.

It is Mr. Sabzian's poignancy that makes Close-Up much more than a clever reflection on film-versus-life as an endless hall of mirrors.
