With director Neil Jordan’s Greta opening this weekend in theaters, a few days ago I sat down with Chloë Grace Moretz to talk about the suspense thriller. If you haven’t seen the trailer, Greta takes the stalker genre and flips it on its head, as it focuses on an unhealthy relationship between two women (Isabelle Huppert and Moretz) who start off as friends before everything begins to unravel. 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. Greta also stars Maika Monroe, Colm Feore, and Stephen Rea.

During the interview, Chloë Grace Moretz talked about what it was like working with cinematographer Seamus McGarvey and 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. In addition, I asked her what TV show she’d like to guest star on, her favorite superhero movie, what movie scared her as a kid, what she collects, what got her interested in the entertainment industry, and a lot more.

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.
