In the erotic thriller Chloe, Dr. Catherine Stewart (Julianne Moore, A Single Man) suspects that her husband David (Liam Neeson, Taken) is cheating on her. So she hires an escort named Chloe (Amanda Seyfried, Mamma Mia!) to offer herself to him, to see how he responds--but Catherine has a surprising response to what unfolds, and Chloe becomes drawn deeply into the doctor's life. Chloe is an atypical "Hollywood" film from Canadian auteur Atom Egoyan (The Sweet Hereafter, Exotica), as it features big stars, a script Egoyan didn't write himself (it's by Erin Cressida Wilson, the screenwriter of Secretary), an editing rhythm notably less idiosyncratic than Egoyan films of old, and an ending that feels forced and unsatisfying. But Chloe explores classic Egoyan obsessions: voyeurism, jealousy, and betrayal. As the movie unfolds, the performances are full of rich details, capturing jagged emotional edges that make the somewhat-implausible plot compelling. Chloe doesn't have the uncanny psychological acuity of Egoyan's best films, but anyone who's enjoyed this unique director's earlier work will find much to enjoy. --Bret Fetzer

if you find stupidity erotic this is the movie for you,

This review is from: Chloe (DVD)
OK, this apparently is an erotic thriller. Well, let's start with the eroticism part. Amanda Seyfried--very cute. Julianne Moore--uh, no. Liam Neeson--uh, double no.A thriller where Liam Neeson does not get angry and chase down bad guys. Remind me why he's in this. Also, the dialogue is beyond ridiculous. The scene where Seyfried (who is playing a prostitute) describes a sexual encounter with Neeson's character is beyond classic. It's as if the scriptwriter, Erin Cressida Wilson (because three names are better than two!) was afraid of actually saying any medical, let alone slang, terms for the actual body parts used to have sex. There's no need to bleep anything for any Christian market they want to reach with this movie, to put it mildly. It's about as erotic as shopping for chairs. The DVD "making of" extra is worth watching to see how pretentious the producers, director and scriptwriter are about this project and the Torontonianess just oozes out. Look, we get it, Torontonians think their city is important being the financial hub of Canada, but people like yourselves once you open your mouths make the rest of us Canadians laugh at your own inflated sense of self. Oh, yeah, the movie is mainly shot in the winter probably because of its "glacial" pace. The entire first hour makes watching yacht racing on TV look like the Stanley Cup playoffs. Of course, the epilogue (metaphor alert!) is in the bright sunshine of spring. Now SPOILER ALERT, only Atom (Ant?) Egoyan could actually think a movie where a woman hires a prostitute to seduce her husband only to have her end up doing the horizontal mambo with said pro instead...and then have the pro sleep with the mom's son in the parents' bed, fall through a window and die...and the dysfunctional family is all happy at movie's end would make for a plausible story. I kid you not. This is the story. It's hilariously over-the-top dumb. I'll also mention that Moore is a gynecologist (of course, she is as we're dealing with stunted adults who green-lit this script), Neeson a university prof and their confused (probably by this story) son a classical music prodigy. Even more hilarious is Seyfried, as a "high-priced" prostitute who frequents high-end hotels with her clients and yet rides a bicycle in the winter in Toronto...and not in any sort of winter cycling gear but in a dress and stockings with high heels on. Hey, everyone does in T.O. when it's 15 below, don't they? It's as if a bunch of Hollywood North types who like softcore porn but want to be "artistes" came up with their idea of what would make for an edgy and sexy thriller. Sorry, it didn't work. It comes across as complete pretentious nonsense. Oh, and Ivan "Ghostbusters" Reitman is part of the producing team. Your large set of teeth should be embarrassed to be seen in the DVD extras. Stick to comedy, Ivan. The only person who comes out of this mess intact is Amanda Seyfried whose lips are most definitely erotic and whose giant wide-open eyeballs seem like she's permanently on some thrill ride the rest of us are unaware of. I think mainly she was probably in shock she signed up for this mess.

Chloe,
This review is from: Chloe (DVD)
Chloe I just figured out is a combination of hand that rocks the cradle and poison ivy. It just seems so obvious, it's creepy and a typical drama involving a psycho man stealing woman
4.0 out of 5 stars
Great to see on Blu Ray,

This is a wonderful movie. It is so wonderful because I never knew this movie is Canadian. I even love Amanda Seyfried's character because I thought she is a wonderful actress.
