Greta Reviews
The film becomes a relatively conventional stalker tale, and the psychological insights of the first act seem for naught.

The pace seldom lags, the cinematography is luscious, and a dream sequence has a clever twist.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 21, 2019
Mostly... as a B-movie, Greta works; the moments in which it leans into its own silliness are its best.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 21, 2019
Veteran French actress Isabelle Huppert gives one of her most terrifying performances in Neil Jordan's overwrought horror-thriller.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 19, 2019
This is Jordan's lightest, darkest film in years.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 18, 2019
Huppert loves to dance on the lacquered surface of civility and then plunge a spiked heel right through it, and for as long as the film is happily indulging her whims, it's a trashily good time.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 18, 2019
Huppert should be the next Bond villain.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 18, 2019
This is a bonkers movie best relished with a nice chianti.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 17, 2019
Huppert lurks and looms, clearly having a blast. At least someone is.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 17, 2019
Despite a familiar, somewhat tedious set-up, Greta truly comes into its own in the final act, a '90s thriller throwback elevated by Isabelle Huppert tearing up the scenery and dancing all over it.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 17, 2019
Huppert takes the neuroses of her troubled characters in 'The Piano Teacher' and 'She' and amps them up a notch.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 15, 2019
A contemporary gothic fairy tale, slight and scary, Greta is unmistakably a Neil Jordan film, if not quite on the level of The Crying Game and The End of the Affair, or as idiosyncratic as The Butcher Boy and Breakfast on Pluto.

Greta functions like a dark fairytale, a story the Grimm brothers would've happily collected for their tome.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 7, 2019
Despite a preposterous plot and some of the fakest on-screen New York in a while... it's hard not to love it.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 5, 2019
it leaves the impression of a cinematic elevator pitch in which some wonderful actors are cast in the role of stick figures and given hardly a chance to humanize them.

Be sure to wear a watch. It will give you something to look at.
| Original Score: 0/5 | Mar 4, 2019
This vicious little performance is the raison d'ĂȘtre to give this feature a look.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 4, 2019
Greta gets people riled up, and that's entirely thanks to Isabelle Huppert's bonkers energy. She is feisty and fiery, playing her character with self-awareness and verve.

[Huppert] is a whirling dervish of grief and madness. Greta is worth seeing for Huppert alone. Which is a good thing, because Moretz lets her down as a dance partner.

Without these two actresses, this would be a straight-to-video script...there wasn't enough on the page to warrant the talent.
| Original Score: C+ | Mar 2, 2019
