Critical reception

Chloe and Theo received negative reviews from film critics. It holds a 0% "Rotten" rating on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 18 reviews, with an average rating of 2.9/10.[9] On Metacritic, the film holds a rating of 24 out of 100, based on 9 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews."[10]

Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a negative review, writing : "Ikummaq displays a quiet dignity in his understated performance, even as his character is often reduced to being the butt of silly jokes. But Johnson squanders whatever good will she earned from 50 Shades of Grey, looking apple-pie wholesome as a homeless ex-junkie whose squalid state is suggested only by artful smudges on her cheeks."[11] Garry Garrison of Indiewire also gave the film a D, writing : "The hope left then, is that the intentions were pure. Surely, at some point “Chloe And Theo” had substance and depth and made a bit more narrative sense (the thing appears to have been hacked from 112 minutes down to a brief 81 minute runtime complete with two voiceovers), but the result here is painful. “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."[12]
