Review
Atom
Egoyan's Chloe is a beautifully photographed, well acted and
cleverly scripted chamber piece that almost manages to balance on
the right side of realism and relevance until the very end, before
finally being tarnished by a couple of dents. It is something as
rare as a tastefully done erotic thriller, much thanks to Egoyan's
undeniable aesthetic sense, but also thanks to Erin Cressida
Wilson's elegantly playful writing which gives the film an alluring
quality. Julianne Moore and Liam Neeson work superbly off of each
other, and Amande Seyfried is close to pulling off the title role,
which − when push comes to shove − turns out to be a little bit too
outrageous for her own and the film's good.
