Critics Consensus

A bonkers B movie occasionally elevated by its A-list talent, Greta dives headlong into camp and struggles to stay afloat.

Honestly so bad. Don’t waste your time watching it. It’s not realistic at all and so frustrating to watch

It was pretty well done but Fatal Attraction is the best of this genre. Watch if there's nothing else on.

Greta is an okay film. It is about a young woman who befriends a lonely widow who's harboring a dark and deadly agenda toward her. Chloe Grace Moretz and Isabelle Huppert give decent performances. The script is a little slow in places. Neil Jordan did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama and mystery.

Chicago Reader

The film becomes a relatively conventional stalker tale, and the psychological insights of the first act seem for naught.

London Evening Standard

The pace seldom lags, the cinematography is luscious, and a dream sequence has a clever twist.

Rated: 3/5

Observer (UK)

Mostly... as a B-movie, Greta works; the moments in which it leans into its own silliness are its best.

A serviceable thriller that could have benefited from a few more dips into the camp well.

With two extremely captivating performances by Isabelle Huppert and Chloë Grace Moretz, this B-movie truly stands out from the most recent flicks of the same type.

If you're a fan of Isabelle Huppert this film is another opportunity to see her shine. Her performance as Greta was the highlight of this otherwise unmemorable movie.
