Synopsis

The film follows Frances McCullen (Chloe Grace Moretz), a young girl who has just lost her mother and who, after found an abandoned wallet in the subway, decides to find her owner and return it to her. This will take her to meet Greta Hideg (Isabelle Huppert), an elegant French widow who will become a friend and almost a mother to her. Although at first it seems like an ordinary friendship, Greta's intentions about Frances could be very different from what they seem at first.

The film is directed by Neil Jordan (Oscar winner for best original screenplay for 'The Crying Game and director of 'Interview with the Vampire') and starring Chloe Grace Moretz ('Let Me In', 'Carrie' and 'The 5th Wave') and Isabelle Huppert ('Elle', 'The Piano Teacher' and '8 Women').

What the critics say average 5.8 from 7 outlets

7.5 The PlaylistGregory Ellwood Greta is one of those thrillers where you see almost every twist coming, but the actors are so into it that you still get sucked in.
7.0 The Hollywood ReporterKeith Uhlich The filmmaker's expressively cockeyed impulses soon take over (he's ably assisted by the terrific cinematographer Seamus McGarvey), and the resulting craziness is quite delightful to behold in the… Read
6.0 Los Angeles TimesJustin Chang Directed by the gifted but erratic Irish filmmaker Neil Jordan, the movie is thin, rote and silly but, Huppert being Huppert, it?s good for a diabolical chuckle or two. Read
