Chloe Reviews

So, if you're after a stylish, sexy B-movie, Chloe is a guilty pleasure of the highest order.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 23, 2018

Chloe reminded me of Fatal Attraction, which was a believable and captivating film. This knockoff is not.

| Jan 13, 2018

Pity Egoyan didn't expend that degree of attention on sculpting a more memorable film, especially when you've got the powerhouse potential of Liam Neeson and Julianne Moore at your disposal.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 15, 2010

As the film's tone moves from psychological drama to erotic arthouse thriller, slickness and absurdity overpower the playful, treacherous ambiguities it has established.

| Oct 13, 2010

Moore and Seyfried provide the film with an intense breath of authenticity guaranteeing you feel the pain inflicted upon their characters by the plot's extreme circumstances.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 13, 2010

Many intriguing psychological crosscurrents roil this scenario, but Egoyan too often lapses into a soft-core dreamland. The film somehow manages to be both a turn-on and a turnoff.

| Original Score: C+ | Apr 9, 2010

It is a movie that, while on the surface intriguing, left me more than a little bit cold, its final images more perplexing than haunting and all I could do when exiting the theatre was shake my head in quiet dissatisfaction.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 1, 2010

The story is the problem here, devolving into a ridiculous situation that produces far more groans than chills or thrills.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 31, 2010

I enjoyed because the actors don't camp it.

Full Review | Mar 29, 2010

Egoyan is an expert at isolating people, but he's less sure of himself when it comes to how they connect. So what happens to the character of Chloe is the worst kind of surprise, the "Huh?" that throws you fatally out of the movie.

| Mar 29, 2010

The only Verhoeven element that's missing is deliberate camp, a healthy ladling of which might have made Chloe worth watching for some reason other than the prospect of glimpsing Seyfried's and Moore's admirably formed torsos.

| Mar 26, 2010

Nearly too stupid to be considered misogynistic (although not quite), Chloe would be straight-to-video if it starred lesser actors and bore the name of a director considered trashier like Paul Verhoeven or Adrian Lyne.

| Mar 26, 2010

This is a high-toned erotic thriller, handled with style and some emotionally raw scenes, aiming for an effect that's pleasingly unnerving, if not outright arousing.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 26, 2010

As it slides wearily into worn-out sex thriller conventions, Chloe becomes tedious and mechanical. When it's over, you're left feeling kind of cheap.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 26, 2010

Atom Egoyan gets the erotic stuff right but pretty much drops the thriller part on its head.

| Original Score: C- | Mar 26, 2010

Director Egoyan has lost his mojo and no matter what he does, he can't seem to reclaim it.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 26, 2010

Chloe descends into a preposterous third act that, by any measure, qualifies as a disaster. But it's proof of Egoyan's skill that the film works for as long as it does.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 26, 2010

Chloe may be otherwise forgettable, but it offers one of the steamier sex scenes you're likely to see at the movies this year.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 26, 2010

The film finds real sensual heat whenever Moore and Seyfried are together, and Egoyan and cinematographer Paul Sarossy turn up the thermostat by making Toronto locales seem exotic and vaguely sinister.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 26, 2010

If you've been waiting desperately for a lesbian Fatal Attraction that manages to be simultaneously slick and tawdry, your wish has finally been granted.
