Movie Info & Cast

Synopsis

Some good deeds lead to dire consequences. The naïve Frances (Chloë Grace Moretz) has recently lost her mother and moved to New York City. She’s still trying to find her way in the big city. So when she finds a handbag on the subway, she’s pleasantly surprised when the simple kindness of returning the purse leads to a fast friendship with the lonely, older Greta (Isabelle Huppert).

The trust Frances places in Greta curdles, however, as she realizes that her new pal harbors bizarre secrets and a maniacal soul. Think of Greta like a modern version of Hansel and Gretel, in which the witch is not willing to confine her evil impulses to a gingerbread house out in the woods.

It's "re-GRETA-able to think that that's the finished product. Could have been sooooo good but, just another NETFLIX movie.

Moretz, meanwhile, acts like Little Red Riding Hood talking to her conspicuously hairy grandma — impossibly naive, and therefore dull and unbelievable. She’s a solid actress, but she shines best in indies or in parts with real edge. Greta is a camp-fest.

Greta is petit Guignol trying to pass for Grand, a horror flick made by people who forgot to have fun. One of them, the director, Neil Jordan, made a memorable film called “The Crying Game” almost three decades ago. This is the groaning game, an inept tale of danger, entrapment and dismemberment.

Jordan, working from a script he conjured up with Ray Wright, is in it for suspense tinged with laughs. But with these two dynamo actresses front and center, this nail-biter keeps you riveted.
