	Author	Review
United States	Keith Uhlich The Hollywood Reporter	"Huppert, Moretz and Monroe give their all in Neil Jordan's trashy yet provocative adult fantasy (...) The emotional aches and ardent eroticism in this kind of Grimm fairy tale are decidedly mature"	POS
United States	Steve Pond The Wrap	"Certainly won’t go down as one of Jordan’s best movies. But it’s messy, bloody fun if you let it in."	NEU
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"[A] campy yet effective thriller (...) Greta’s backstory is confusing and inconsistent — and frankly, unnecessary."	NEU
United States	Gregory Ellwood The Playlist	"[It] is one of those thrillers where you see almost every twist coming, but the actors are so into it that you still get sucked in (...) The only weak link in the movie is Moretz (...) Huppert is a marvel"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"[It] is a mixed bag, a skillfully executed psychological thriller with not quite enough in the way of psychology or thrills to be as disturbing or diverting as it should be."	NEU
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"With these two dynamo actresses [Huppert and Moretz] front and center, this nail-biter keeps you riveted (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"It is far from a complete disaster, but it only becomes the film you really want it be after about an hour of flat dialogue and convoluted behavior."	NEU
United States	Joe Lipsett Bloody Disgusting	"[It] simply isn’t frightening enough to be a great horror film, and it’s not campy enough to be a guilty pleasure.	NEG
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"It’s not quite clear what Jordan was aiming for: psychological thriller about obsession and loneliness? A campy B-movie? It’s everything and nothing, a familiar regurgitation of a formula (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"'Greta' is best read as tongue-in-cheek femme fun. And proof, certainly, that despite her considerable success, Huppert has not at all fallen into the trap of taking herself to seriously."	POS
