A sweet, naïve young woman making a go of it in the Big Apple, Frances (Chloë Grace Moretz) doesn’t think twice about returning the handbag she finds on the subway to its rightful owner. That owner is Greta (Isabelle Huppert), a peculiar pianist with a predilection for Romantic music and a desperate need for company. Frances recently lost her mother and feels alienated by her father; Greta has lost her husband, and her daughter lives far away. The two become fast friends — but that friendship rapidly assumes ever more sinister hues as Greta’s attentions escalate. (Toronto International Film Festival)

Though the technical aspect is nicely done, Greta remains an unimaginatively plotted thriller
with a great actress who is wasted on such a one-dimensional character. Due to her involvement
(and also due to the director’s reputation), one would expect more from this than just a minor genre
movie. [The Elizabeth Picture Theatre, Brisbane]

Phew!! I’m so relieved it wasn't about THAT Greta! Putting aside the traditional use of a number of illogical situations that seem to have taken root in such films, it was decent entertainment for viewers who are no strangers to phobias. There was plenty to choose from here, but claustrophobics would probably win. The story was plain and simple, the plot didn't bring anything new, but I still had quite a good time and even a few laughs (not that it was the authors’ intention). Plus, there was Chloë Grace Moretz, whose looks definitely didn’t make me turn away from the screen.

A nice little thriller with the talented Chloë Grace Moretz and the excellent psychopathic Isabelle Huppert! Chloë is new to New York and accidentally finds a handbag on the subway and decides to return it to its original owner, Greta, who is on the surface friendly and very hospitable, but with hidden agendas and psychopathic traits. A disturbing, unsettling, perfectly acted and decently shot thriller with a nicely choreographed finale. In the 90s it would have been a hit as hell, but nowadays the film doesn't quite pull it off, yet as a genre one-off it serves decently. 70%
