Close Enemies (2018)
6/10
Good; Not Great

The 2 lead actors are extremely good. Unfortunately, there must some French censorship rules when it comes to drugs being used on screen. I've noticed this fact in several French films. For such a sexually liberated country, they are diametrically opposed when it comes to showing any kind of drug usage. I find this odd. The other strange thing is people cutting cocaine before they sell it by the kilo. This is atypical. Both of these issues hamper the authenticity of the film. It's a shame such good performances are wasted on a predictable plot. This screenplay needs help! Overall, I gave this film a 6/10 because of the strong acting. Worth a watch.
