In the seemingly safe streets of New York City, a lonely young woman named Frances McCullen, played by Chloe Moretz, finds a designer handbag abandoned on the subway. Her decision to return it to its owner, the elegant and enigmatic Greta Hideg, portrayed by Isabelle Huppert, sparks a whirlwind friendship that fills a void in both their lives. What begins as a comforting bond between a grieving daughter and a mysterious widow soon curdles into a suffocating obsession. Directed by Neil Jordan, this psychological thriller masterfully tightens its grip as Frances discovers that Greta's loneliness masks a terrifying and possessive fixation. As the older woman's seemingly innocent affection transforms into a relentless campaign of manipulation and stalking, Frances finds herself trapped in a nightmare where every act of kindness has a sinister price. With standout performances from Maika Monroe and Stephen Rea, the film crafts a chilling atmosphere of urban isolation and mounting dread, exploring the terrifying consequences of a friendship taken to its most dangerous extreme.
