Tatat Bunnag Bangkok Post Drawing Closer is a bittersweet romance that explores the meaning of life in the face of death while telling a beautiful love story. This is one of those movies that will stay in your mind long after you've finished watching it. Jul 13, 2024 Full Review Matt Donato Collider Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so if you can wipe yours clean long enough to watch Drawing Closer and love torturing yourself with romantic "downers" as a treat, this is probably a winner. Rated: 3/5 Jul 2, 2024 Full Review John Serba Decider It all strains credibility to its breaking point, but it also absolutely fits the genre... anyone putting on their flumpiest sweats and fuzziest slippers and firing up this movie know what they’re getting into, and boy, are they gonna get it. Jun 27, 2024 Full Review Daniel Hart Ready Steady Cut Drawing Closer aims for the heart but also provokes the mind as it entwines romance with the meaning of life.

Johnathan L A movie that really makes you reflect on life and love, well portrayed and you can really feel the emotions of each character in the significant moments. Must watch for those looking for a down to earth , genuine portrayal of life , death and love. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Muhammad M One of the best tear jerkers movie! I've teared up 4 to 5 times and honestly it was worth it. If you like action scenes and fast pace movies then this movies is not for you. A movie totally for those who like to enjoy the slice of life and a slow romance while having a superb emotional rollercoaster! Pretty sure it's best to watch it aloneee or with your special partner that you know you can be vulnerable with as be warned, you will tear up along the movie & not just the climax 🥹 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/12/24 Full Review Skyla V Still crying, I strongly recommend tho <33 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Mahmudul H Life is Uncertain this movie made me feel that again.. Sometimes we feel like everyday is just a burden to live then life hits you with a Uncertain Problem that makes you fall in love with your own life and makes you want to live again...
