aims to humanize the figure of young climate activist Greta Thunberg, but fails to paint a fair portrait.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 21, 2024

Unlike the girl herself, this documentary is not going to change people’s perceptions. For a film called I Am Greta, one ultimately comes away without any greater sense of who the real Greta actually is.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 12, 2022

An illuminating portrait of a complex teenager.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 17, 2022

It’s an engaging portrait that recognizes the vital work being done and just how incredible that is to be placed on the shoulders of a young girl.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 5, 2022

The film feels like a good start rather than a captivating final product.

Useful as a historical account, I Am Greta has at least one serious issue as a documentary: it's not a film about the problem, but about the activist. [Full review in Spanish]

I Am Greta won't do much to deter the gammons and Twitter trolls, but it highlights how hard it is to remain positive in the face of such hate.

The issue with I Am Greta, no matter how openly it presents its protagonist, is that it won't do precisely what Thunberg is devoting her life to: changing minds.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 14, 2021

The message of Greta Thunberg and I Am Greta is a grim one, but one with a shred of hope, knowing there are passionate people putting in the hard work toward change.

I Am Greta is a stellar documentary that allows audiences to see Great Thunberg's determination but also reminds them that she is a child, carrying a responsibility that she should not have to shoulder

| Original Score: 8/10 | Dec 1, 2020

An enlightening documentary about a passionate young prophet for eco-justice.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Nov 29, 2020

[The film] is a testament to commitment and passion. It's also a film that feels like it only scratches the surface about its subject, her family and, more so, her cause.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 25, 2020

While informative, "I Am Greta" takes a sheepish, non-committal approach to its subject that saps it of some its intended impact.

It's a feature-length selfie with a figure who merits a painstaking portrait.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 20, 2020
