Watch Chloe For Free

Great Film overall

Don't listen to the negative reviews

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

A doctor hires an escort to seduce her husband, whom she suspects of cheating, though unforeseen events put the marriage in danger. Chloe wastes a good cast and idea early on in the film since everything that it does is a mistake and a bland direction that doesn't even go anywhere to begin with. (0/10)

Catherine (Julianne Moore) and David Stewart (Liam Neeson) are a professional upper class couple with teenage son Michael. It's a perfect life on the surface but Catherine begins to suspect David cheating on her. She hires call girl Chloe (Amanda Seyfried) to test his fidelity. Chloe reports her encounters back to Catherine. Chloe is complicated and has a sexual tryst with Catherine.The three lead actors have amazing pedigrees. Atom Egoyan has directed sexually ambitious movies before but this one has no heat. I do like the performances but Egoyan has instilled a coldness throughout the film. It keeps the sexual tension down when it should be boiling over. Although it could be argued that Egoyan wanted a chilling effect for this overheated premise. I don't buy it but I do still love the actors and it's beautifully shot.

We all have those actors we never really manage to click with, whom most likely have some kind of obvious promise and talent but just don't sit well with us and mine has always been Seyfried. I just don't like her, I think she's overrated. Chloe however is underrated as I hadn't ever heard the name of the film before, even though the actors involved such as Liam Neeson and Julianne Moore are household names. It wouldn't appeal to everyone, the film isn't funny, scary, thrilling or anything as such but its an intricate character piece and is more or less fascinating to experience. Think Fatal Attraction meets Roman Polanski's Carnage. There's a heavy amount of character development throughout which always prompts perspective of a benevolent director, he knows what the audience wants and promises something we only receive ten minutes before the end. Unfortunately for Egoyan's audience, it's slightly anti- climactic and we're left with plenty of unanswered questions. The acting is fantastic, really. Even from Amanda Seyfried who I've already mentioned as usually managing to turn me off from a film, but even her I found to be effortless and cool in the delivery of the title character. The chemistry between Moore, Neeson and Seyfried is taut, real and memorably erotic. Unfortunately overall, I wouldn't clamber to watch it again but I did find it enjoyable and stimulating for the duration. Recommended. 6/10

An ageing wife hires a babe to prove her husband is a cheater, but the babe has eyes for her.Simplistic drama that avoids every interesting development, and all the possibilities that kept me guessing evaporated well before the end. It is stylish and well made, with a good cast. The actress playing the babe is outstanding - one look-to-camera with her green eyes filling the screen - but she's not the thing, and the roles for the more experienced actors feel misguided.Not sure where this goes wrong. The director did something similar in Where The Truth Lies - promising lots, but ending up with little. The writer gives some clunky scenes that make the story struggle, and doesn't let the actors tell a satisfying story.The score is excellent, loved every second of it, and the pace is good.Overall, made-for-TV feel after an intriguing build-up.
