Greta
Psycho-thriller that pairs Chloë Grace Moretz and Isabelle Huppert in a tale of obsession from director Neil Jordan (The Crying Game).
Frances (Moretz) is a bored, struggling waitress who returns a lost handbag to its owner Greta (Huppert). The two begin to spend time together as friends, until Frances makes a discovery that encourages her to pull away. Of course, Greta won't let her get away easily, and friendship turns to torment.

Vulture
pressThe film is intense and features a performance by Chloë Grace Moretz that's more committed than this swill deserves.
Variety
pressFalls squarely in B movie territory but, by virtue of its two lead performers, winds up being far more enjoyable than it has any right to be.
Vanity Fair
pressHuppert and Jordan are certainly capable of turning up the volume, but for whatever reason they pull back in Greta, getting stuck somewhere between shlockly art and arty schlock.
The Guardian
pressIt’s everything and nothing, a familiar regurgitation of a formula with precious little to add.
IndieWire
pressIt opens as a stilted, awkward drama... and then it takes a surprising flip.
Hollywood Reporter
pressThe filmmaker's expressively cockeyed impulses soon take over, and the resulting craziness is quite delightful to behold in the moment and to reflect on after.
