Chloe

Drew's Thoughts:
Atom Egoyan's sexual thriller starring Julianne Moore, Liam Neeson and Amanda Seyfried was alright. It's got a good performance by Moore, who manages to a make a less-than-compelling character, well, compelling. It's not up there in her top 5 performances or anything but it goes to show just what a talented actor she really is. There are a number of scenes where the much younger, less experienced Seyfried just can't match Moore's poise and power, and it's usually most evident when Seyfried has the lines and Moore is doing nothing at all. I can't blame Seyfried too much though, it's tough to hold your own against Julianne.
The film follows Moore who is obsessed with the idea that her husband Neeson is having an affair and hires Seyfried to test his susceptibility to seduction. From there things get awkward and strange as Seyfried recounts explicit details of sexcapades with Neeson and the two women gradually become closer.
There's a lot of flaws in the film that I don't really feel like getting into (Colleen may get into them, though her disappointment mostly stemmed from "not enough lesbianism") but I'll give credit where it's due. After the first few minutes I told Colleen "I don't think I'm gonna like this" but I watched the whole film without checking the clock. Chloe may be underdeveloped but at least it's well paced.
