US/Irish thriller in which a young woman's friendship with a lonely piano teacher takes a sinister turn.
Treat it as a nightmarish fairytale and you'll have fun. Think about it for too long and it falls apart.
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.
It’s all a bit silly but it works.
The French actor plays a widow befriended by Chloë Grace Moretz’s waitress in Neil Jordan’s enjoyably preposterous psychological thriller.
In its lesser moments, the movie descends into high camp but the diva-like performance from Huppert gives it an edge that most trashy B movies lack.
