Chloe

I've watched scores of films with Amanda Seyfried and her performances didn't really impress me; especially that in ‘Red Riding Hood’; striking features and bright bold eyes, but she didn't seem to be connected with her characters. I am happy to say that 2009’s dramatic thriller ‘Chloe’ disturbed the hell-out-of-me; however finally made Amanda connect. Not because she portrayed a lesbian whore, but because she showed vulnerability and a little bit of craziness and those two qualities are unique and admirable qualities to possess in any actor. I’d like to continue seeing the roles and chances she takes in the future as she has been fortunate to work alongside some of the best actors, and directors.

Written by Erin Cressida Wilson and Anne Fontaine from Luxembourg and directed by Egyptian Atom Egoyan, this movie was full of seduction, un-faithfulness, and menace. Despite its racy and sex-induced content, this story kept the audience attentive yet baleful every step of the way. It was creepy yet unfolded beautifully with lovely framed shots, fantastic classical compositions and exceptional acting by Liam Neeson and Julianne Moore.

This film exemplifies that once you tell a good story well, even skeptics will believe you! The power of story is the ability to convince someone beyond questionable doubt. J But just because people are good at telling stories, doesn't always mean that the story is the truth. Winner of 2 awards and 4 nominations, Chloe was a dark ride into the troubled mind of someone who needed to find closeness with her mother.
