A review by Alunauwie
8.0

Written on December 1, 2025

Drawing Closer reflects on how limited time reshapes the way two people learn to live, love, and confront their deepest fears, using soft visuals and intimate dialogue to build a bond grounded in shared fragility. Instead of dramatic clashes, the film lingers on internal struggles that unfold quietly yet painfully, softened by heartfelt performances and tender cinematography. Though the ending feels slightly rushed, the story remains a gentle reminder to pause, look inward, and consider how we choose to live before death arrives—whether soon or far ahead.
