In the film, Moretz’s character returns a lost purse to a lonely and disturbed woman (Huppert) and things go off the rails pretty quickly.Gretaalso starsMaika Monroe,Colm Feore, andStephen Rea.
During the interview, Chloë Grace Moretz talked about what it was like working with cinematographerSeamus McGarveyand Neil Jordan, how the film is really about three women, what drew her to the project, how she is going to direct a short film with her brother, and more.

Here’s theGretaofficial synopsis:
A sweet, naïve young woman trying to make it on her own in New York City, Frances (Chloë Grace Moretz) doesn’t think twice about returning the handbag she finds on the subway to its rightful owner. That owner is Greta (Isabelle Huppert), an eccentric French piano teacher with a love for classical music and an aching loneliness. Having recently lost her mother, Frances quickly grows closer to widowed Greta. The two become fast friends — but Greta’s maternal charms begin to dissolve and grow increasingly disturbing as Frances discovers that nothing in Greta’s life is what it seems in this suspense thriller from Academy Award winning director Neil Jordan.
