Review of Greta

Greta (2018)
7/10
Loneliness
8 July 2021
Chloe Grace Moretz strikes up an acquaintanceship with Isabelle Huppert, but soon realizes the older woman is stalking her. She tries to break it off, but Mlle. Huppert redoubles her efforts and soon kidnaps Miss Moretz and hides her i her cramped apartment.

Neil Jordan's take on stalker movies is a meditation on loneliness. Mlle. Huppert is estranged from her own daughter, and desperate for connection. Even at her most insane, there is a sadness to her performance that makes her oddly sympathetic. Miss Moretz' relationships seem banal and superficial at first, but in the end she has people whocare for her.

Isabelle Huppert was born in Paris in 1953. She first appeared on the screen in the early 1970s ad scored a success in 1972's CESAR AND ROSALIE. She has been nominated as Best Actress for France's Caesar award more times than anyone else.
