Watched it! Loved it!
TORONTO! (sorry, I had to. I was having Toronto!gasms the whole way through the movie. Oh, my home and native city you looked so beautiful!)
But mostly, "WOW". Amanda Seyfried was amazing! I mean she's always good but this movie reminded that I sometimes forget just how good she is. Her performance was masterful. And Julianne Moore was phenomenal as well. God, I just love looking at her. I've never known someone who could make "rich, middle-aged, white-lady angst" so compelling. And she and Amanda on-screen together are utterly compelling and enthralling.
This is obviously not a feel-good lesbian film, Catherine and Chloe don't end up sitting on a park bench together at the end playfully fighting over who's going to carry the baby, but to me it is a good film. It seems like this is a very divisive film, an ' either you loved it, or you hated it' scenario - much like one of my favorite films of 2009 Where the Wild Things Are. That movies produced a really visceral reaction in me that I can't really intelligibly article to others, it just connected with me (much like the not so divisive Up in the Air) and Chloe connected with me powerfully as well.
But I'm rambling, so in conclusion ... I loved it!

Date: 2010-04-26 09:21 pm (UTC)I saw "Nathalie" too, probably right when it came out so it was a while ago and I couldn't remember too much about it, so I went into "Chloe" fresh. I really want to watch "Nathalie" again though to compare the two.
i don't see it so much as a clichéd "cautionary lesbian" tale...i think it's more of a clichéd obsessive love tale that just so happens to have a lesbian slant.
Word.
t just so happens that i was in toronto last weekend and got to walk the streets of downtown TO and i did recognize some things in the film and that was pretty neat...
I hope you enjoyed your time in my fair city! And lucky you got spring Toronto, instead of cold!depressing Toronto! The sun makes such a difference!
love your black squirrels and and weirdly coloured taxis ;)
lol. Hey, we like colour. Just look at our money!
