Cinema Wednesdays - Lauriane Pipoz<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frances McCullen (Chlo\u00eb Grace Moretz) finds a forgotten bag in the New York subway. As a good citizen, she decides to return it in person to its owner. It turns out to be Greta Hideg (the astonishing Isabelle Hupert), a lonely woman who invites her for coffee. They strike up a friendship. Until the young woman discovers a series of bags identical to the first, accompanied by post-it notes showing the names and telephone numbers of the young women who found them. But it's not so easy to cut the cord with Greta, who turns from surrogate mother to determined stalker for Frances. What follows is a cat-and-mouse game through the streets and establishments of New York.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The original synopsis of Greta<\/em> had it all. Coupled with a cast that looked solid on paper, this new thriller <\/em>looked thrilling. All the more so since the trailer, with its stunning visuals and sound, was bloodcurdling! The problem is that, while the impeccable form of the film - well-crafted points of view, striking music, experienced leads - is maintained throughout, it is unfortunately at the service of empty content. The story is sorely lacking in depth, as are its totally stereotyped characters.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
