In this psychological suspense thriller, we follow Frances, a young woman who finds a lost purse on the subway and decides to return it to its owner, Greta, a charming and lonely widow who appears to be a kindly older woman in search of companionship.
However, as Frances befriends Greta, she begins to discover that this woman has a dark and disturbing side that leads her to cross the boundaries of sanity and obsession.
What seemed like an innocent gesture of friendship turns into a nightmare when Frances realizes that Greta is not who she says she is and that her intentions are far more sinister than she imagined.
With captivating performances by Isabelle Huppert and Chloë Grace Moretz, “Greta” plunges us into a cat-and-mouse game full of suspense, paranoia and unexpected twists and turns that will keep the viewer on edge until the very last moment.
Through an unsettling atmosphere, a tense narrative and intense psychological conflict, the film takes us on a journey full of intrigue, danger and suspense that challenges our perceptions of friendship, trust and the limits of morality.
Isabelle Huppert was nominated for a Golden Globe for her nuanced portrayal of the mysterious title character.
Director Neil Jordan created an unsettling psychological cat-and-mouse game with Greta, a stylish neo-noir with Hitchcockian overtones.
From its bleak Montreal settings, lined with rainbow-coloured autumn leaves, we are drawn into an intricate web of suspicion.
Isabelle Huppert is at her best in the sinister role of the title character, a mild-mannered French piano teacher who hides a monstrous obsession beneath her mannerisms.
In every scene, she hints at new layers of menace with her snaky smile and calculating glances.
Chloë Grace Moretz is equally compelling as Frances, the young woman who is drawn into Greta's webs and is on the verge of paranoia as she tries to break free.
The evolving power dynamic between these two extraordinary actresses engages from the start.
Jordan carefully dodges thriller clichés and keeps us expectant at every unsettling twist and turn down dark alleyways, displaying his mastery of simmering tension and frayed nerves.
Greta is a chilling modern fairy tale for the #MeToo era that gets under your skin. Masterful.
A perfectly tuned psycho-drama that proves psychological horrors can be as creepy as any slasher. Jordan and his stars deliver a moody, unsettling modern classic that demands repeated viewings to absorb its multiple layers of implied menace. Sadly, many of the major awards overlooked Greta, failing to recognise Isabelle Huppert's riveting, unsettling performance as one of the best in recent years. However, director Neil Jordan rightly received critical acclaim.
Financially, with a modest budget of $5 million, Greta was an unexpected success. It grossed over $35 million worldwide, proving that audiences appreciate a taut, sophisticated thriller in the midst of Marvel fatigue.
Huppert and Grace Moretz also received individual accolades on the festival circuit. Proving that Greta struck a chord with discerning cinephiles, attracted by Jordan's masterful manipulation of shadows and subtext.
Today I was watching a movie while I was having a break from work, and I remembered this movie that I've wanted to see for a long time. I think it's been two years since I saw the trailer. Omg, time really flies and doesn't stop.
This movie is called Greta and from the first time I saw the trailer I was left with a creepy feeling that I had to get rid of because it looked like a good movie, and today was the day friends.
Hoy estuve mirando una película mientras estaba en la hora muerta de mi trabajo, y me acordé de esta película que quería ver desde hace tiempo. Creo que han pasado dos años desde que ví el tráiler. Omg, el tiempo de verdad vuela y no se detiene.
Esta película se llama Greta y desde la primera vez que ví el tráiler quedé con una sensación creepy que tenía que deshacerme porque tenía una pinta de buena película, y hoy fue el día amigos.
We start seeing Frances's life and about a few minutes into the film, she finds a lost bag on the subway. Frances really is a good person and she decides to look inside the bag when she arrives at the apartment she shares with her friend. Although her friend didn't think the same and she just wanted to keep the money.
Empezamos viendo la vida de Frances y como en pocos minutos de la película, se encuentra un bolso extraviado en el metro. Frances realmente es una buena persona y decide mirar dentro del bolso al llegar al departamento que comparte con su amiga. Aunque su amiga no pensaba igual y solamente quería quedarse con el dinero.
Frances, like a good girl, decides to go the next day to the address that appeared on the document she found in the purse. She met a fairly friendly-looking woman who offered her a cup of coffee.
Frances como una buena chica, decide ir al día siguiente a la dirección que salía en el documento que encontró en el bolso, se encontró con una mujer de aspecto bastante afable que le ofreció una taza de café.
And because of this coffee, Frances and Greta became friends, until one day Frances found a bunch of purses just like the one she had found on the subway and realized that this woman had been doing that for a long time. Obviously she gets scared and leaves without saying anything.
Y por este café, Frances y Greta se volvieron amigas, hasta que un día Frances encuentra un montón de carteras iguales a la que ella había encontrado en el metro y se dió cuenta de que esa mujer llevaba tiempo haciendo eso, obviamente ella se asusta y se va sin decir nada.
From there the nightmare begins because that woman becomes a real stalker. Frances tries to call the police and they only advise her to ignore her, but as the minutes go by the situation becomes increasingly terrifying and dangerous.
A partir de ahí la pesadilla comienza porque esa mujer se convierte en una verdadera acosadora, Frances trata de llamar a la policía y ellos solo le aconsejan que la ignore, pero con el pasar de los minutos la situación se vuelve cada vez más aterradora y peligrosa.
Personally I liked the movie but because it always left me with the feeling of being alert, that is, I really got into the role of the movie, and as if I were the protagonist I felt my own fear that someone was watching me all the time. This thriller, psychological horror, really made me go back to my traumatic moments.
Personalmente me gustó la película pero porque siempre me dejó la sensación de estar alerta, es decir, realmente me metí en el papel de la película, y como si yo fuera la protagonista sentí su propio miedo de que alguien estuviera vigilandome todo el tiempo. Este thriller, terror psicológico, realmente me hizo volver a mis momentos traumáticos.
A few days ago while I was flipping from one TV channel to another, looking for a program to distract me before going to sleep, I came across the trailer of a movie called Greta, which in Spanish was translated as "The Widow", in that trailer I could see that Chloë Grace was starring, and it caught my attention because it was of the suspense genre; coincidentally the movie was about to start, so I decided to watch it.
I mention Chloë Grace in the first instance, because she was the only actress whose face was familiar to me in the film's trailer, and since her performances are usually immersed in drama and mystery situations, I was confident that I could like the film, albeit without high expectations.
Hace unos días mientras me paseaba de un canal de tv a otro, buscando algún programa para distraerme antes de irme a dormir, me encontré con el tráiler de una película llamada, Greta, que en español tradujeron como "La Viuda", en ese trailer pude ver que actuaba Chloë Grace, y me llamó mucho la atención por ser del género de suspenso; casualmente la pelicula estaba por comenzar, así que decidí verla.
Menciono a Chloë Grace en primera instancia, porque fue la única actriz cuyo rostro me era familiar en el tráiler del film, y como por lo general sus interpretaciones están inmersas en situaciones de drama y misterio, confíe en que me podría gustar, aunque sin mayores expectativas.
Indeed, what begins as an innocent encounter in which a young woman decides to return a handbag forgotten in a train carriage to its owner, turns into a sick story with psychopathic overtones.
Efectivamente, lo que comienza como un inocente encuentro en el que una joven decide devolver a su dueña un bolso de mano olvidado en un vagón del tren, se convierte en una historia enferma con tinte psicópata.
Greta is a kind, refined and well-educated woman, with a special fondness for classical music. One day, in an apparent oversight, she forgets an elegant handbag in the train carriage and is contacted by the young woman who finds it to return it to her.
Greta, es una mujer de apariencia amable, refinada y bien educada, con una especial afición por la música clásica. Un día, en un aparente descuido, olvida un elegante bolso de mano en el vagón del tren, y es contactada por la joven que la encuentra para devolvérsela.
At that meeting, she meets Frances, a young waitress who has just moved to the city, who has recently lost her mother, a pain that is still alive in her, and also has a distant relationship with her father. Greta tells Frances that she is from France, that she lives alone after the death of her husband, and that her only daughter lives in Paris, so she feels lonely and eager for company.
En ese encuentro conoce a Frances, una joven camarera recién mudada a la ciudad, que viene de perder recientemente a su madre, dolor que sigue vivo en ella, y además mantiene una relación distante con su padre. Greta le cuenta que ella es de Francia, que vive sola a raíz de la muerte de su esposo y que su única hija vive en París, por lo que se siente sola y ávida de compañía.
The two strike up a fast and close friendship that seems to complement their shortcomings, Greta in her need to fill the void of her absent daughter, and Frances that of her dead mother.
Ambas entablan una rápida y cercana amistad que parece complementar sus carencias, Greta en su necesidad de llenar el vacío de su hija ausente, y Frances el de su madre muerta.
One night, when they are at Greta's house to enjoy an evening, while they are cooking and preparing everything, Frances discovers something that disturbs her and quickly makes her doubt Greta's intentions. This makes her want to distance herself from the woman and break off all contact with her, however, Greta does not desist in her attempt to preserve what she considered could be a mother-daughter relationship.
Una noche, en que ellas se encuentran en casa de Greta para disfrutar de una velada, mientras cocinan y preparan todo, Frances descubre algo que la perturba y que rápidamente la hace dudar acerca de las intenciones de Greta. Esto la hace querer distanciarse de la mujer y romper todo contacto con ella, sin embargo, Greta no desiste en su intento de querer conservar lo que consideró podría ser una relación de madre e hija.
Frances discovers that what Greta told her about her life is not true, which convinces her that getting away from Greta is the right thing to do, but without even suspecting it, she becomes the victim of harassment and persecution by a mentally unbalanced woman obsessed with her. Frightened by the harassment, she brings the situation to the attention of her friend Erica, who in turn alerts Frances' father.
Frances descubre que lo que Greta le contó acerca de su vida no es cierto, lo que la convence de que alejarse de ella es lo correcto, pero sin siquiera sospecharlo, se vuelve víctima de acoso y persecución de una mujer mentalmente desequilibrada y obsesionada con ella. Asustada por el hostigamiento, pone al tanto de la situación a su amiga Erica, y ésta a su vez, al padre de Frances.
From that moment on there is a sense of suspense in the plot, which could even produce fear, however, I feel that there are scenes that go so fast or that trigger so hastily in the obvious, that damage that moment of climax. Still, you can feel the tension and anguish at certain moments, but not enough of a shock to make you bite your nails in amazement or anxiety.
A partir de ese momento se siente un suspenso en la trama, que incluso podrían llegar a producir miedo, sin embargo, siento que hay escenas que van tan rápido o que desencadenan tan precipitadamente en lo obvio, que dañan ese instante de clímax. Aun así, se siente la tensión y angustia en determinados instantes, pero no lo suficientemente impactante como para comerte las uñas perplejo de asombro o ansiedad.
There is a twist at the end of the story that, although I liked it, I saw it coming, and that's what I'm talking to you about, there are scenes that are taken for granted, that feels predictable, I don't know if it's because of the triviality of the genre or because something else was missing. In any case, it is not a bad, bad movie, nor a good, good movie...it is one of those that can be watched. By the way, it's not a new movie, it's from 2018, but for some reason I had never heard of it, it was the coincidence of zapping that led me to discover it.
Hay un giro en el final de la historia que, si bien me gustó, lo veía venir, y es de lo que les hablo a ustedes, hay escenas que se dan por hecho, que se sienten predecibles, no sé si por lo trivial del género o porque faltó algo más. En todo caso, no es película mala, mala, ni buena, buena…es de esas que se dejan ver. Por cierto, que no es una película nueva, es del 2018, pero por alguna razón nunca había oído hablar de ella, fue la casualidad del zapeo la que me llevo a descubrirla.
