Chloe & Theo

I have to say this film opened my eyes to the amount of ignorance we have toward humanity, it was well written with a great cast, it has a true meaning and those with a heart will be able to capture this meaning and see the world through the eyes of people who have genuine concern for not just the earth, but all those who exist in it. Thank you to all involved especially Theo who plays himself in the movie and Monica Ord a producer of the film and a true activist for the well-being of mankind. I recommend with parental guidance that this movie is for everyone. There is laughter and tears and I was able to bond with the characters unlike any other film I have seen in a long time . Please don't miss this one!!!

This movie had good intentions and the potential to convey an important message. However, it was let down by a poor script. Given that the film's intention was to highlight the wisdom of First Nations peoples, it could have done a lot more to centre the voice of Theo. Instead there was too much focus on the other characters and Theo's message didn't have the impact that it should have.

Theo is an Inuit from the Arctic. The elders have a nightmarish dream of the angry sun. They send Theo to deliver their message to the elders of the south. He arrives in NYC clueless to the modern world. He is befriended by homeless Bruce Lee fangirl Chloe (Dakota Johnson) and her circle of friends. They go to the UN but are taken to jail. They find an ally in Monica (Mira Sorvino).

This is one odd indie. I'm sure its heart is in the right place. The central environmental message is important but I fear the unrealism only detracts from it. Dakota Johnson is homeless like a billionaire is poor. The quirky humor is ill-fitting. At times, it's really heavy handed which also detracts from the central message. It's too bad because Theo is a really compelling character. A better writer could bring about a better message movie. This has too many awkward moments.

I hope the make another similar story. I enjoyed the movie, but found a lot of things senseless, not really part of the plot or characters. I wished it flowed more like a movie, not linearly, but with vocal audio levels more normalized between musical barrages. It may have been designed to feel like we were in a city after being in a remote place, I'm not sure.

I picked this movie up at a dollar store. It took my breath away. When something really makes sense and speaks more truth than anything you will ever learn about life....it seems to remain unnoticed, ignored and hidden. This movie is heart warming and heart breaking at the same time. It speaks in volumes and depth if you are fully listening and watching. Although people are becoming fully aware of how destructive we have become to our planet and ourselves...I have to wonder if the real problem is we just do not know how to stop? I now feel inspired to find as many ways in my life to stop and make changes. Thank you to the people who took the time and effort to make this fantastic film.
