Robbie Collin

Daily Telegraph (UK)

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

Rated: 2/5

Noel Murray

Los Angeles Times

Even more than describing her cause, the affecting "I Am Greta" introduces us to the person herself, digging deep into why she's pushing herself so hard, to do what our planet's adults apparently won't.

Vox

Grossman's fly-on-the-wall approach is a perfect match for his subject. Thunberg is not unselfconscious, but she has very little to prove, and so her single-minded passion for her activism comes through in every word she says.

Rated: 4/5

Flick Feast

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.

Rated: 2/5

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.

Assistindo, quase que simultaneamente, dois documentários sobre essa criança prodígio, verdadeiramente uma heroína, uma menina abençoada e muito a frente de seu tempo... Essa garota é tudo que eu sempre sonhei em ser quando "crescer", vegetariana, ativista pelo direito dos animais, politicamente-correta praticante, inteligente, memória fotográfica e oratória perfeita, magnífica... #Orgulho E o nosso ex Bozo só participa para passar vergonha junto ao ídolo D. Trump #Chorei
