A young waitress (Chloë Grace Moretz) finds a woman's purse forgotten in the subway and decides to return it to its owner. A grateful elderly widow (Isabelle Huppert) invites her in for coffee, which our heroine accepts, not suspecting what lies behind the seemingly harmless facade of the lonely piano teacher.
"Greta" is a psychological thriller that does not bring us anything new and original, and the actions of the characters are often irritatingly illogical and unreasonable, which is one of the characteristics of most horror films, a genre with which director Neil Jordan consciously flirts. Although from the start everything hints that the film is not worth watching, Chloë (this genre suits her best) and Isabelle gave themselves so much to their roles that I simply couldn't give up on it until the end
"Greta" is a film that drowns in mediocrity and clichés in every aspect, but it is pulled out by the impressive acting of Chloë and Isabelle, which is why I have to recommend it and rate it in the upper half of the scale.
7/10.
