Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Greta (2019)

I've been a fan of Isabelle Huppert since "The Piano Teacher," so when I saw the trailer for this, I was fully on-board. Unfortunately, the trailers juked me.

This looked like an interesting psychological thriller, but it turned out to just be an illogical "why? because she's crazy" kind of story. It has a decent set-up -- woman leaves dozens of purses around town so that good samaritans will be lured into her web when they return it -- but that's where the innovation ends.
