I Am Greta

"That tension - between what Thunberg feels driven to accomplish and how draining it is for her - sets I Am Greta apart from the typical issue doc."

"I Am Greta warrants a recommendation purely on the basis of Thunberg herself, whose formidable passion and disarming humanity shine through in every frame."

"A humanistic examination of this young activist."

"With any luck, this film will help bring Thunberg back into the conversation..."

"If you’re looking for a witness statement or polemic on the climate change perils facing humanity a la David Attenborough’s recent Netflix effort A Life On Our Planet, you’re going to be sorely disappointed. This isn’t that kind of a documentary."

"A close-up, behind-the-headlines portrait of a passionately committed, media-savvy young woman."

"I Am Greta" is intent on reminding people that she's really just a kid who has a big dream. The key, of course, is that Thunberg's dream, by its very nature, has no time to waste."

"As a portrait of the girl behind the cause, it's cautious and rarely illuminating, speckled with moments of domestic intimacy that nonetheless feel carefully vetted."

"A fascinating "year in the life of" the eco warrior Greta Thunberg..."

"Despite being a valuable reminder of Thunberg's idealism and unselfconscious courage, the film doesn't entirely work."

"Nathan Grossman's documentary about Greta Thunberg is by turns both inspiring and infuriating."
