Looks interesting. An older woman (Issabelle Huppert) becoming obsessed with a woman in her early 20's (Chloe Grace Moretz) from a chance encounter. If you haven't watched a trailer or TV spot I recommend on not doing so. As usual they spoil too damn much.

This has flop written all over it. Chloe's involvement is the KISS OF DEATH. Why she's still getting movies considering her abysmal record at the box office is beyond me. Guess all the adolescent boys out there are keeping her career afloat.

not sure why Moretz honestly is sought after either, she is way too self aware.

So did anyone see it? I wasn't planning on seeing it, even though I like the two actresses, but I just saw that it's directed by Neil Jordan, so I might give it a shot after all.

Ok enough watch, I'm often a sucker for psycho-stalker movies, I even like The Perfect Guy (thought Ealy was so dialed in lol)! So it's not a massive bar for these movies to get my overall recommendation. Kind of felt like a thriller masquerading as a drama for the first half or so. Which I didn't hate, it was just different and maybe a little incongruent.
But damn, the law enforcement is so incompetent in this movie. Huppert was strong and a reason to watch. I like CGM, but Monroe outshines her in this movie. I wonder if it would have been a little more memorable if she was playing the lead character, but I guess they were perfectly casted and it could just be that Monroe has eclipsed Moretz as a talent.
6/10 for me but again this genre is my guilty pleasure. I say just don't expect some deep commentary or anything, I think the movie wants to be really substance heavy but it ain't.

Huppert is always enticing to watch on screen and Chloe too, in her own weirdly awkward way, even though this was certainly not her best film or role, its still intriguing to follow her on screen. at least for me. 5.5 from me, but that doesn't mean its trash, just that it had some plot holes or silliness toward the end, that made me respect it less. that was the MOST USELESS detective and death i have seen in a long time. also who doesnt make sure their kidnapper is dead or at least proper tied before trying to run out?

I saw it after all, and I agree with your assessment. Not too bad, but if I had skipped it, I wouldn't have missed much. I agree with the "stupid" accusation; one of my pet peeves when it comes to movies is when writers make characters do things that make no sense, such as
attacking your captor and then trying to escape without first making sure that your captor really is incapacitated

Never heard of it, which is typical for Chloe. Literally, most of her films die at the box office, and Greta is no exception.

Wouldnt matter who would headline it, it was never going to be a box office hit, but its absolutelly worth watching Also has one of the best actes female orgasms in movies ever. |

I really need to see this. I was very disappointed with Boy Erased and thought it would have been a bit of a groundbreaker. Cameron Post appears to have gotten more favorable reviews, even though it wasn't promoted as well.

IE: Greta followed her friend around town but can't makeout her getup? also her friend suggesting reverse psychological manipulation to her was also a bad, bad idea. and yeah what a waste of poor Stephen Rea, was excited when he showed up.

The film doesn't do much to raise Chloe's profile in Hollywood. She's had many more flops than hits, and 2018 and 2019 (so far) have not been good to her.

She started out with some good stuff, but she doesn't bring much to the table. I can't see her in adult roles, either.
