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.

A young woman, Chloe, living by her wits on the streets of New York City, has a chance meeting with a wise Inuit Eskimo, Theo, who was sent to New York by his elders to provide a message to the people of the world – We either change our destructive was or be destroyed by them. Chloe, who has been searching for something to believe in, becomes inspired by Theo and , with the help of a kind lawyer, Monica, the three of them present Theo’s story to the United Nations in hopes of creating a better future for all of us.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
Chloe and Theo is a film that operates entirely on a vague sense of uplift.
The New York Times by Daniel M. Gold
Chloe & 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.
The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
A deadly earnest polemic whose good intentions are smothered by its inept execution.
Los Angeles Times by Katie Walsh
The 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.
Plays like an unintentional mashup of “Being There” and “Elf.”
Chloe and Theo feels like Dakota Johnson’s atonement for the meretricious slime that was “Fifty Shades of Grey.”
Philadelphia Inquirer by Steven Rea
Chloe & Theo is a mess of a message movie, simplistic, sappy, silly.
