Fascinating movie

Was about to give it four stars for being so boring, but then again I was transfixed and engaged till the end.

I'll be trying to figure out what I just watched for a while, another reason why this is such a good film.

Emily Browning (and the equally sexy yet strange-looking Amanda Syfried) is a brave actress. Not just baring her body but baring her soul into these movies.

I think this movie had some deeper message about women and how they're viewed and treated, just like her other movie Sucker Punch but at least it wasn't as goofy as that film. Maybe it needed a woman's touch to really explore the subject.

Odd, enigmatic movie. Good material. Brave Browning.

Glad to hear that someone else enjoyed the film. I feel like the only one sometimes.

Wha'? Amanda Seyfried wasn't in this.

I enjoyed 'Chloe' a lot more myself. Albeit the ending was a bit stupid.

I liked "Chloe", but it was a more conventional "erotic thriller" type movie. This was more unusual. I appreciate Seyfried's willingness to get naked when the role calls for it (rare among young American actresses today), but she's yet to do it in a really good movie. I hated "Lovelace".

I liked this a lot too. I admit it wasn't great, but it was INTERESTING.

America specializes in G, PG, and PG-13 movies for children and teenagers and they also lead the world in producing XXX porn (perhaps not coincidentally). What they have trouble doing though is making intelligent, sophisticated, mature, or basically truly ADULT movies. And sex in American movies either has to be very repressed OR very, very dirty and sinful. If young American actresses don't have iron-clad "no-nudity" clauses a lot of people seem to think they may as well be down on all fours, naked, with three *bleeps* in them. It's a very annoying, Puritanical dichotomy.
