Chloe (2010) - ***1/2
Catherine (Julianne Moore) suspects her husband David (Liam Neeson) of cheating on her with one of his students. She hires call girl Chloe (Amanda Seyfried) to try to seduce him, hoping to put her fears to rest or to confirm what she thinks she already knows. Directed by Atom Egoyan (The Sweet Hereafter), Chloe is a quietly intense psychological thriller, hampered only by a misguided ending. Both Moore and Seyfried are outstanding in their roles - it's a shame their performances have been completely ignored this awards season. Also worth noting are Mychael Dannas chilly score and the luscious cinematography by Paul Sarossy.
