- 50Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreChloe and Theo feels like Dakota Johnson’s atonement for the meretricious slime that was “Fifty Shades of Grey.”
- 40Village VoiceAbbey BenderVillage VoiceAbbey BenderChloe and Theo is a film that operates entirely on a vague sense of uplift.
- 38Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaPhiladelphia InquirerSteven ReaChloe & Theo is a mess of a message movie, simplistic, sappy, silly.
- 30The New York TimesDaniel M. GoldThe New York TimesDaniel M. GoldChloe & Theo is surprisingly amateurish in concept and execution. There’s a line between a narrative that’s deliberately simple and one that’s painfully childish, and it’s not all that fine. But it’s one Chloe & Theo crosses repeatedly.
- 30Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshLos Angeles TimesKatie WalshThe climax is overwrought and cheesy, which doesn't match with the quiet dignity of the Inuit man. He carries a profound and sage warning, but Chloe and Theo just isn't the right dramatic package.
- 25New York PostKyle SmithNew York PostKyle SmithPlays like an unintentional mashup of “Being There” and “Elf.”
- Chloe And Theo should have been a film about Theo: a complex man taking on an unfamiliar world he is not particularly fond of, with little more than conviction and principle to help him along. Instead, we get another film where a hapless foreigner teaches white people how to better themselves.
- This tale of an Inuit coming to New York City to warn about the perils of climate change is like a 1970s PSA, complete with stock, one-note characters and message-y dialogue.
- 10The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckA deadly earnest polemic whose good intentions are smothered by its inept execution.
