Chloe

Yesterday afternoon I went and saw the movie Chloe. I had seen some early reviews of the film which had all been mostly positive. The movie stars Julianne Moore, Liam Neeson and Amanda Seyfried. The movie is directed by Canadian director Atom Egoyan and was shot in Toronto. This is the film Liam was working on when his wife Natascha Richardson was killed in that horrific ski accident. I am not sure how much of it had been filmed prior to the accident but it must have been incredibly difficult for him to finish filming.

The premise of the movie is Liam and Julianne are a successful couple. He is a College Professor and she a Gynaecologist and they have one over achieving son. Sounds dreamy right. They have a great life or so one would think. Then Julianne suspects Liam is cheating on her with his students. She hires Amanda (who is a high class escort) to meet him accidentally and see where it goes. She wants Amanda to report back to her what happens. Without going into to much more of the plot you can see where this is heading. Or can you??

I thought Julianne was outstanding in her role. Here is a woman who has a successful job (doctor) yet was insecure in her relationship with an equally successful man. This movie delves into those insecurities with some twists you might not expect.
I can say I mostly liked the movie with only the last 5 minutes being a bit of a letdown.... I definitely recommend it if you like adult dramas.
