One for die-hard Duff fans only; and even they may find her riot grrrl turn a tough act to swallow.

Small screen hottie Hilary Duff moves on from her kid celebrity roots carved out on Disney Channel's Lizzie McGuire, to not exactly Juno looking for lust here, but excelling in a vocal talent for snotty teen talk that's as anti-grownup as can be.

Working from a psychologically trite script by Michael Gilvary, director Nancy Bardawil gets largely good performances from her cast.

Misfires when it should've soared, and while Hilary Duff gives the role a forceful middle-finger twinkle, it's wasted on unsophisticated ABC Family leftovers.

I Guess This Is Duff Attempting To Be Ultra-Dramatic, Which There Is Slight Hints Of Shining Brillance Attempting To Break Out..But Ot's Mostly Examples Of How Not To Develop A Character. Duff Is Outshone By Her Supporting Actors, Particularly The Boyfiend. Did Not Believe Any New Ground Was Broken Here..Other Than Someone Whom Finds Herself Far Too Easily..Running Along The Beach & All.

'According to Greta' showcases a different side of the beautiful Hilary Duff as she plays a crude, suicidal teen struggling with family and relationships, but the film treads too lightly on its dark themes and instead finds itself coming to a cliché conclusion.

Pretty realistic portrayal of a depressed angsty teenage girl with family issues. I liked the emotion behind it and the symbolism. Cinematography was amazing and so was the design of the journal sequences. Totally underrated.

According to Greta is a bittersweet drama with a powerful performance by Ellen Burstyn and a charismatic Hilary Duff.
