Factual error: When Julia Roberts takes a photo of Natalie Portman crying she uses a 35mm camera. The final photo in the gallery is from a Hasselblad type camera shooting a square format. All the prints show the full negative and the outside area of the negative. Also when she uses the 35mm camera sometimes she advances the film manually and sometimes you hear a motor drive. It would be either one or the other. Last she doesn't focus the lens when she takes a picture.

Closer (2004)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Mike Nichols
Starring: Julia Roberts, Jude Law, Natalie Portman, Clive Owen
Larry and Anna end up back together, although Anna looks really depressed in the last close up. Daniel and Alice seemingly are back together, until Alice dumps him in the last scenes. Alice did sleep with Larry, and Alice's real name is Jane. She returns to New York City, and walks down the street.
Lisa Nicole
Alice: Where is this love? I can't see it, I can't touch it. I can't feel it. I can hear it. I can hear some words, but I can't do anything with your easy words.
Trivia: Natalie Portman considers this movie to be her first one that helped her get away from her "Star Wars image".

Answer: I think it was because of the offer that Larry made to Anna. He promised that if they had sex one more time, he would leave her alone and never contact her again. The fact that he was willing to give her freedom, is what made her choose him. Dan was more "needy" and pushy, which is hypocritical, because he left Alice based on her being needy.
Dan left Anna after confronting her about sleeping with Larry for the divorce papers. Anna begged Dan to not stop loving her, to not leave her. Looks like Dan could not stand Anna after she slept with Larry so she went back to Larry since she never turned in the divorce papers.
But after the incident, Dan went to Larry's office and begged him to "let" Anna return to him.
