00:00Hi, welcome back to Movie Recap Zone. Today, I'm going to explain a romantic thriller film from
00:062009 titled, Chloe. Spoilers ahead. Watch out and take care. The movie begins with Chloe,
00:13a young woman who's discussing her business as a call girl to the viewers. She explains that she
00:18must be capable of pleasing her clients with her words, as well as with her actions. Catherine,
00:23a middle-aged gynecologist living in Toronto, is working in her office. She glances out of her
00:28window at different times to see Chloe entering the hotel down the street from her office with
00:32her clients. Catherine's husband David, a college professor, lectures to a class in New York. At the
00:38end of the lecture, an attractive female student says that some of the class wants to take him to
00:43dinner. He politely declines, saying it is his birthday and he is supposed to return home.
00:48The whole class begins to sing happy birthday to you. Catherine hosts a surprise birthday party for
00:53David, who has not yet arrived. Assuring the guest that David is just minutes away, she gets a call
00:59from him saying that he missed his flight and will not make it home in time for his birthday. While
01:03David is on the phone, one of his female students is shown to be at his side. The next morning,
01:08Catherine wakes up to find David at home. He apologizes to her, saying that he didn't know
01:13there was a party for him. Though it is an hour before David normally leaves for work, he tells
01:18Catherine he that must leave early so he can get coffee. Catherine finds her 17-year-old son Michael
01:23with his girlfriend, who is walking around the house in her underwear. Disturbed, Catherine asks
01:29if they're using protection. Michael says that David knows about his girlfriend spending the night.
01:34The relationship between Catherine and Michael seems strained. Catherine suspects David of having
01:38an affair after she sees a picture of him and the female student hugging as part of a text message
01:43saying, thanks for last night. That evening, David and Catherine go out to dinner with two friends.
01:49David flirts with the waitress, clearly upsetting Catherine. Catherine goes to the restroom and
01:54enters a stall. Overhearing a woman crying in the next stall, she asks her if everything is okay.
02:00The woman replies evasively, saying that there is no toilet paper. Catherine hands her some under the
02:05partition. The woman states that men are such assholes. Catherine agrees, then exits her stall.
02:10The woman, Chloe, follows her. As they are washing their hands, Chloe offers Catherine her hairpin.
02:17Catherine kindly refuses, then says she must return to her husband. During dinner, Catherine notices
02:23Chloe, still upset, with another client at a table a short distance away. The next day after work,
02:29Catherine stops by the hotel bar where Chloe spends the majority of her time waiting for potential
02:33clients. Chloe, looking at Catherine passionately, tells her that she doesn't usually meet with women.
02:38Catherine reassures Chloe, explaining that she suspects her husband of infidelity. She wants
02:44Chloe to go to David's coffee shop in the morning and meet with him in order to test his loyalty.
02:49The next morning, Chloe goes to the coffee shop and waits where David shows up as expected.
02:54Chloe hesitates, and then goes over to him to ask if she could borrow some sugar from his table for
02:58the container at hers is empty. David makes eye contact with Chloe and gives her the sugar dispenser.
03:03Later that afternoon, Catherine and Chloe meet. Chloe describes the meeting with David, saying he was
03:09friendly, but only mildly flirtatious and that nothing really happened. Curious, Catherine asks
03:15Chloe how she does what she does. Chloe speaks openly about herself, how she tries to see good in
03:20people, and that all sorts of folks walk into her life, including Catherine herself. Catherine pays Chloe
03:26and asks she meet with David one more time to see what he does. That evening Catherine sees David
03:31speaking with someone via instant message and chuckling lightly. Passing by Michael's room, she overhears
03:36him talking to his girlfriend on video conference. She is trying to put some distance between them,
03:41supposedly because of upcoming graduation, but Michael thinks there are other reasons. Suddenly he sees his
03:47girlfriend staring over his shoulder. Turning, he angrily springs to his feet and closes the door in
03:52Catherine's face. Catherine goes back downstairs and tells David that Michael's girlfriend is leaving him.
03:58She suspects she's responsible because of her disapproval that the girl was sleeping over
04:02with Michael. David assures her that Michael will be okay. He shares a sip of the scotch that Catherine
04:08bought for his birthday, with her and they start to reconnect, wondering when they stopped being the
04:12young lovers that always picked each other up at the airport and couldn't stand to be apart.
04:16The next morning, Catherine overhears Michael talking to David on his cell phone, comparing how he met his
04:22girlfriend, to how Catherine and David met, a story Michael always liked to hear. Catherine smiles as
04:27she listens. Catherine's cell phone alerts her to a message from Chloe, asking Catherine to meet her at
04:32a restaurant. Having been reassured about David, Catherine says she is feeling better about her
04:37relationship with him and doesn't need Chloe to see him anymore. But Chloe says she'd already met David
04:42again. Chloe starts to describe the encounter in more detail, disturbing Catherine. Chloe tells how she went
04:49with David to lunch, and then to a garden, where he kissed her passionately and she could feel him
04:53getting aroused. Catherine is deeply upset. As Catherine tries to maneuver out of a tight parking
04:58space, Chloe gets on her bicycle to pedal away. Her bike skids and tips over on a patch of snow,
05:04and Chloe skins her knee. Catherine takes Chloe back inside and opens her medical bag to bandage up
05:09Chloe's knee. As she starts to take a medical scissor to cut Chloe's pantyhose away from her knee,
05:14Chloe declines and slides them down, which disquiets Catherine. Later,
05:19Chloe is describing the meeting with David further, in more detail. She tells how she kissed
05:24David in a hidden niche in the gardens and gave him a meat shake massage. Catherine awkwardly asks
05:28for reassurance that Chloe is clean of any STDs, and Chloe promises to bring her medical documents
05:34showing this. Catherine drives home and showers. As she washes herself, her mind spins with images
05:40drawn from the stories Chloe told her about her meeting with David. As Catherine lies down to sleep,
05:44David is seen awake in the bed beside her, his face pinched with anxiety. Chloe goes to Catherine's
05:50office the next day to bring in her medical documents. She overhears Michael telling the
05:54receptionist that he needs to pick up his tuxedo for a recital. Chloe approaches Michael as he is
05:59photocopying musical sheets and talks to him about her favorite band. Chloe gives Catherine the papers
06:04and tells her that she is meeting David again as per Catherine's request, later that day. Michael gives
06:10Catherine a much cooler reception as he picks his tuxedo up, not even thanking her as he walks out.
06:15Lunching with friends, Catherine receives a text message from Chloe, asking her to meet her at a
06:19hotel. When Catherine arrives at the hotel room, the bathrobe-clad Chloe tells her that she had meat
06:25injection session with David. She describes the encounter in explicit detail, but rather than
06:30causing Catherine more heartbreak, it arouses her. Chloe, feeling remorse, kisses Catherine, who abruptly
06:36leaves shocked by this sudden display of affection. That evening, Catherine goes to the music recital
06:41where Michael is playing the piano on stage to an audience. She sits a distance away from David,
06:46which is not lost on either him or Michael. Driven somewhat crazy by the haunting music and by both
06:51David and Michael's responses at ignoring her, Catherine leaves before the recital is over.
06:56The upset Catherine meets Chloe at the hotel where Catherine asks her to describe more about her
07:00encounters with David. Chloe takes her up to a room and after centrally describing her moves,
07:05she has finger insertion game with Catherine. Afterwards, Catherine and Chloe share a taxi,
07:11with Catherine paying for Chloe's trip home. As Catherine gets out of the taxi, Chloe offers her
07:16her hairpin again. Chloe says that the hairpin was her mother's, and she now wants Catherine to have
07:21it as a symbol of her love for her. Catherine enters her home to find David waiting for her. He asks her
07:26if she's been unfaithful. Catherine becomes infuriated and tells him she's been meaning to ask him the
07:31same question. David declines to respond. The next afternoon, Catherine arrives at her office after
07:37lunch to find several missed calls from Chloe and an email with a picture of them in bed together at
07:42the hotel from that night. Alarmed, Catherine calls her. Chloe suddenly enters Catherine's office seconds
07:48later with flowers, and asks her if she enjoyed the finger game with her the night before. Embarrassed,
07:53Catherine admits that she did, but explains that their business is finished. Heartbroken,
07:58Chloe tells Catherine that she loves her. Catherine, disturbed, apologizes to Chloe for
08:03miscommunicating. She thanks Chloe for helping her, and pays her for the work she has done.
08:08Chloe leaves Catherine's office crying. Seeking revenge, Chloe goes to Michael's hockey practice.
08:14They flirt a bit with Chloe bringing up intimate pieces of information regarding his Facebook profile,
08:19especially a picture of him and his mother. She then gives him a Raised by Swan CD at which point
08:24he admits he has already downloaded all of their music. That night, Catherine and David go to a
08:29coffee house, where Catherine demands that David admit that he is having an affair. David admits that
08:34he did lie to her that night about missing his flight home because he hated to go to the birthday party,
08:39but he denies that he is having an affair. Chloe suddenly walks in, shocking Catherine. David looks
08:44around to see at whom Catherine is staring. He apparently does not know Chloe when, in a genuine
08:49baffled tone, he asks who the girl is, and why Catherine is so upset. At this point, Catherine
08:55realizes that Chloe made up her encounters with David to come between Catherine and David.
08:59Catherine also realizes that Chloe has apparently fallen in love with her because Catherine gave her
09:04attention. Catherine apologizes to David for not having trusted him, and admits that she worried
09:09about him because she was getting older and more insecure about her appearance. Then she confesses
09:14her encounters with Chloe. David, shocked but understanding, embraces and kisses her. Jealous,
09:20Chloe goes to Catherine's home. Catherine arrives to find Chloe and Michael in Catherine's bed having
09:25meat injection game. After sending Michael out of the room, the angry Chloe accuses Catherine of thinking
09:30that she could invite someone into her life, use them, then order them away when she's finished,
09:35just like all of her other male clients. Chloe tells Catherine that money isn't enough to make her go away.
09:40Chloe wields her hairpin haphazardly, pricking her own hand and causing it to bleed, then pushing it
09:45up against Catherine's neck like a knife. Catherine apologizes fearfully and asks Chloe what she wants.
09:51She replies, I want you to kiss me. Catherine kisses Chloe as Michael sneaks back into the room.
09:57Upon seeing Michael's reflection in the window, Catherine is surprised and pushes Chloe away.
10:02Chloe falls against a large window which breaks. The camera closes in on Catherine, then Chloe,
10:07as Catherine watches Chloe slowly letting go of the window frame and subsequently falling through
10:12the bedroom window to her death on the patio below. Several months later, at Michael's high
10:17school graduation party, Catherine obviously is still upset by Chloe's death. One of the guests
10:22comes up behind Catherine to talk, as Catherine turns, she is seen to be wearing Chloe's hairpin in
10:27her hair. I hope you guys enjoyed this video. Hit that like button if you did, subscribe if you're new.
