10 Overlooked 2019 Films That You Really Need To See
4. Greta
Chloe Grace-Moretz' star has been on the rise for, what feels like, a life-time. Her break-out role as Hit-Girl, in 2010's Kick-Ass, put her on the map at the tender age of 13 and she's been a mainstay in Hollywood ever since.
Therefore, when it was announced that she'd be sharing the screen with Isabelle Huppert for the 2019 release of Greta, it gave us reason to believe that this could be another potential feather in the cap of the young star.
Stuttering to a mixed-response, upon debuting in the US at the beginning of March, Greta struggled to find its audience as a skin-crawling thriller.
With the premise consisting of Frances (Grace-Moretz) being lured into a false sense of security by the deranged titular character (Huppert), Frances soon finds that her new acquaintance is a little more than she bargained for.
The two leads turn in fantastic performances, Grace-Moretz shining as the sympathetic lens through which we discover Greta's past and Hupper is on hand to slither coldly through each scene, threatening to strike at any moment.
As far as the story goes, it can veer into the farfetched from time to time, but this film warrants a viewing based solely on the lead's input.
