Chloe is a that classic old story: Boy meets girl, girl thinks boy it cheating, girl hires hooker to seduce guy, hooker seduces guy, girl gets jealous, girl sleeps with hooker..... on second thought, the story isn't THAT old. Chloe stars three of the most watchable actors working today, Julianne Moore, Amanda Seyfried and Liam Neeson and is directed by Atom Egoyan. The good thing is that these actors are amazing. I mean Julianne Moore and Amanda Seyfried are allowed to run with every intense emotion involved in the complicated relationship they develop over the course of this film, and they both are so incredibly beautiful, whether smiling or crying, that you can't take your eyes off of them for a second. The weird thing is, after watching the movie, which I was completely entertained by, by the way, I was left wondering exactly what happened after all the enjoyment. It's not at all a bad movie, but the ending (which I will not ruin for anyone) doesn't leave you with much insight into who these characters were or why they acted or interacted with one another in the film. Julianne more is Catherine, a successful gynecologist and mother of a 17-year old son, played by the adorable Max Thieriot, and wife to college professor David, played by Liam Neeson. Through what I wish was a series of events, but is really just one vague clue, Catherine suspects David is cheating on her and asks a prostitute who she only sees from afar out of her office window and has a chance meeting with at a restaurant, Chloe, played with feminine ferocity by Amanda Seyfried, to seduce her husband to see if he will respond. Clearly complications arise and their turns out to be a deep seeded problem within Chloe that causes chaos. What isn't explained is why. Does she need a mother figure, which is only briefly hinted at, or does she just have an intense sexual connection to Catherine, whom she seduces in a sexy, sensual scene in the movie that made me want to be a lesbian. I am totally lesbi-gay for Amanda and Julianne and proud of it!! Amanda Seyfried gets all that nudity out of the way in this movie too. The movie was, as I said, entertaining, but don't expect to leave with answers, especially from the head-scratching final scene. I would recommend it for the pure joy of watching the actors work, but don't expect closure on this one. Oh, just go see it already.
