on your review of chloe, did you see SECRETARY? the same scriptor as chloe. i think you under-rate the scriptor, who seems to be a good writer to me. what draws me about chloe is also its script. for example, the conversation chloe has with catherine on the sports-field, and her comment on the internet and downloaded music. and lots of people fail to understand the ending.

I haven't seen The Secretary, so I'm not really familiar with her work outside of Chloe. I don't disagree with you though, I do think it's a well-crafted screenplay, but I was drawn more into the film because of its directorial touches. I didn't love the film in comparison to the rest of the director's work, probably because it's a little too conventional and genre-specific for my taste (and his style). I do agree with you about the ending, I don't think a lot of people were able to piece together some of the details. Thank you for reading the review, though!

I stood outside the theatre before the screening, reading a promotional poster for The Fighter (2010). There was some good word from the studio, attempting to hype up the film by comparing it to Rocky… read review
