chloe grace moretz little gasp when she finds greta's 17 identical handbags is the funniest thing in the history of motion pictures
unrealistic because I would have let Isabelle Huppert stalk me
***filing this Isabelle Huppert interview as my GRETA review because the world is on fire and i can do what i want***
“Acting is very easy for me,” Isabelle Huppert said, not bragging so much as stating a fact. Sitting in a small Manhattan conference room, she leaned back and shrugged her shoulders. The famously understated French star, whose “Greta” opens this month, is as honest and direct as she appears on screen — if also warmer than you might expect from her many film roles (especially on a sunny day off from “The Mother,” the harrowing Florian Zeller play she’ll be performing for the next two months). “Everything I do as an actress is really the story of the…

Halfway through: “I’m sorry, but you can’t elevate a generic ’90s X-from-hell thriller just by casting Isabelle Huppert as the X.”
By the end: “My bad, you can absolutely elevate a generic ’90s X-from-hell thriller just by casting Isabelle Huppert as the X.”
Also features one minor but satisfying subversion of this genre’s expectations, involving a character who clearly “should” die yet repeatedly does not. But you’ll have to endure some remarkably clunky act-one dialogue, and you’ve seen 95% of what follows at least 195 times.
I learned 2 things from watching this movie:
1. It's not safe to go outside.
and
2. It's not safe to be inside.
Occupies a weird middle ground where it's not quite campy enough nor creepy enough to really resonate after you leave the theater, so it ultimately just ends up being a dumb script held up by a fun performance from Isabelle Huppert. There are shades of an interesting psychological thriller and a ridiculous B-movie in there, but the film sort of just dabbles in both until it ends. Maika's cool.
GRADE: C+
