While the female lead cast is truly outstanding, it’s the concept of the movie that will strike most of you. Read more

The perfect level of camp meets high art, Greta is a self-aware humourous matriarchal take on the horror thriller genre. Isabelle Huppert is brilliant as always, and much of the film rests solely on her shoulders. Read more

You might see some of the turns coming and might have been on similar routes before, but that doesn’t mean this isn’t a fun ride in excellent company. Read more

Despite the potential in Greta's scenario to explore such themes as urban isolation, the loneliness of our elder citizens and the divide between millenials and previous generations, Greta is as shallow a thriller as any of its made for TV or straight to VOD cousins. Read more

While it is a film rife with potential themes, where Greta errs is in trying to have its cookies and eat them too. Read more

Greta is far more silly than sinister, but is partially saved by Isabelle Huppert's gloriously theatrical performance as the film's titular character. Read more

With an interesting story and a good cast with, specifically, Isabelle Huppert giving a crazed performance, Greta has a lot going for it. In addition, the attachment of director Neil Jordan was attractive despite his spotty overall history. Nonetheless, Greta doesn’t deliver fully on its potential. There are quality moments but its schizophrenic tone and total lack of subtlety leaves it relatively unmemorable. Read more

Well, par for the course with this film. It opens strong, develops well and relies on Huppert’s supernatural presence to create palpable tension before going entirely off the rails. Read more

Neil Jordan’s Greta is a poorly written and ludicrous thriller, as well as one of the worst movie-going experiences of the decade for me. Read more

Het is duidelijk dat er tijd, energie en aandacht is besteed om een spannende thriller af te leveren. Op dit front weet Greta absoluut te slagen. Read more

Toch gaat Greta nooit onder je huid zitten en als kijker krijg je ook nooit het idee dat het weleens slecht kan aflopen voor Frances. Dat jammer is, want met iets meer spanning was de thriller van Neil Jordan beter uit de verf gekomen.

Het is het acteerwerk van beide actrices dat de film net boven het gemiddelde tilt. De verhaallijn daarentegen scheert niet echt hoge toppen. Read more

Greta is een matig geschreven psychologische thriller die eigenlijk geen eer doet aan het aanwezige talent. Het is dan ook vooral te danken aan Chloë Grace Moretz dat de film nog enigszins het aankijken waard is. Read more
