Reception

Nathalie... received generally positive reviews, currently holding a 73% "fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes.[2] On Metacritic, which uses an average of critics' reviews, the film holds a 69/100 rating, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[3]

Remake

Director Atom Egoyan remade the film in 2009 under the title Chloe.[4] The film stars Julianne Moore, Liam Neeson, and Amanda Seyfried. A reviewer in the New York Daily News (Elizabeth Weizmann) contrasting the original with the remake says Egoyan "Having adapted a film—via Erin Cressida Wilson's screenplay—from an erotic French drama called Nathalie, Egoyan appears convinced that he's creating a suspenseful work of art, rather than a mildly kinky bit of arthouse exploitation."[5] However, in his self-promotion, the director of the remake, Egoyan, described Chloe as more erotically charged than Nathalie...[6]
