Leave your thoughts about Chloe.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt's not the kind of movie that depends on the certainty of an ending. It's more about how things continue. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThe success of Chloe is largely due to the contribution of screenwriter Erin Cressida Wilson. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchCalvin WilsonEgoyan doesn't flinch from exploring the dark side of curiosity. That includes dealing with sexuality in a way that might make some moviegoers uncomfortable. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam LaceyChloe is director Atom Egoyan’s foray into the realm of what might be called artful trash. 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. |
| The Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenMoore and Neeson beautifully underplay their roles, lending screenwriter Erin Cressida Wilson's ("Secretary") dialogue an unexpected, palpable poignancy. |
| Portland OregonianMarc MohanThe ensuing love triangle culminates in a frankly loopy finale that tarnishes the film's earlier insights and ensures that it will be only remembered for some hot and heavy bedroom scenes. |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallThe movie maintains its posture of mystery long after the solution is evident, and the best suggestion is to just smirk with the flow. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliFor those who remember Egoyan at the top of his craft, there's no way to represent this as anything less than another disappointment. |
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyThere are two questions to ask about a film such as Chloe: Is it erotic? Yes. Is it good? Yes, until it devolves into third-act pretentiousness and preposterousness. |
| Boxoffice MagazinePam GradyFails to completely satisfy, thanks to problems with the script that neither director nor stars can overcome. |
