Review of Greta (2019) by Live2Rise — 05 Mar 2019

Basically what this all adds up to is maybe I had a reason not to take the bait to see “Greta”. Even with Chloë Grace Moretz and Isabelle Huppert in the main roles, the film is enjoyable at best with some suspenseful moments and build up tension and criminally underwhelming at worst as the real issue here lies in the predictable story, the fault in decision making for the characters and the slow burning build up not going anywhere once we get to the ending.

The film, to me, is not relatively boring but if Moretz and Huppert weren’t here in, it probably would’ve been a different story. To be fair, it is one of Chloë’s better movies on her resume but that’s not really saying much.

Like every other film, this one had potential via its director and screenwriter but magic doesn’t always formulate to the silver screen......and this is just one of those instances where the initial set-up is just lacking in subtlety to the point that this movie might as well be a satire.
