Plot: Sweet and naïve Frances is a young woman trying to make it on her own in New York City. One day, she finds a handbag on the subway and returns it to the owner, an eccentric French piano teacher named Greta. Having recently lost her mother, Frances develops a close relationship with the older lonely woman. Greta`s maternal charms begin to dissolve, however, when Frances realises that nothing in Greta`s life is what it seems.
My Movie Review: The movie is a sophisticated psycho thriller that's caught up in it's own web towards the end but as the shock was revealed the cat and mouse scenarios are fun to watch:) Greta is a crisp showcase of nail-biting ideas that somehow creative in paranoia of security on stalker that's hard to get rid of and being drugged into vivid dream might seem real in a glance! I love the elevator scene as it goes down shrink and tightens leaving someone claustrophobic you can only enjoy that in the cinemas in real life its scary to be trapped on any narrow places!! Isabelle Huppert strike as a insane lonely person leaving a lasting impression that is terrifying and unpredictable, makes her dangerous and very effective in giving unsettling bonkers feeling the titular role give her the spotlight to be notice by critics and for the first time most of viewers! Chloë Grace Moretz grew up to be a fine actress as well from her past roles I don't believe so yet here she's convincing you root for her to survive just a side note don't return what you find:)
Critics Consensus: A bonkers B movie occasionally elevated by its A-list talent, Greta dives headlong into camp and struggles to stay afloat. The pace seldom lags, the cinematography is luscious, and a dream sequence has a clever twist. Huppert should be the next Bond villain. If Greta feels a little superficial, however, there's still a lot of fun to be had: in a mischievous screenplay; in a shameless score giving oomph to every shock and in a vivid colour scheme which defies the notion that thrillers should be dark. Its inconsistencies mean it often feels flat, despite some highly enjoyable nonsense and wonderfully histrionic Huppert as Greta. The lead performances from Isabelle Huppert and Chloe Grace Moretz keep the screws turning, while director Neil Jordan has a great time inducing goosebumps as well as a few good laughs along the way. Huppert takes the neuroses of her troubled characters in 'The Piano Teacher' and 'She' and amps them up a notch. Its a successful genre exercise but falls short as a whole film!
