But this time, as a Hollywood voice-over man might say,its serious.
And the bad news?
Well, like the film does, best to worry about that later.
BecauseChloestarts strong, balancing a conventional narrative with a simmering eroticism that is quite beguiling.
Yet, shes played dead cold by Moore, a closed-off woman surrounded by sexually liberated individuals.
Egoyan is a supremely intelligent filmmaker.
Shes also able to handle the films jarring shift from character study to mild thriller territory with consummate ease.
Theres able support from Seyfried, whos good without ever being great.
Which brings us to that bad news.
The Egoyan touches are still there, all right, andChloeis still undeniably the work of an auteur.
Its just a bit rough around the edges.
