Does your relationship provide everything you need?
"Close Enough" by Alex Hunter is a deeply avant-garde, experimental piece with a heartbeat of its own, uncategorized, unapologetic, and strangely familiar. It doesn’t tell a story so much as evoke a state: the liminal, ghostly feeling of hotel rooms as sites of suspended identity and fleeting intimacy. Through AI-manipulated images fed from both luxury hotels and personal archives, the film becomes a meditation on memory, desire, and the loneliness beneath surface freedom.
It’s speculative, raw, and dreamlike, full of imperfections that may be accidental or entirely intentional, but either way they feed its eerie sincerity. This is cinema that bypasses logic and speaks directly to our unspoken longings, the ones we ignore in our rush to get from where we are to where we’re going. It may be loved or loathed, but either way, it lingers under your skin. And that, perhaps, is its quiet triumph.
