Robbie Collin

Daily Telegraph (UK)

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

Rated: 2/5

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

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

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.

The film I Am Greta, is an empowering documentary that discusses Greta Thunberg’s story and how she strived to become a worldwide advocate for climate change. This film is truly significant because it shows how young activist, like Greta, can inspire others to are about their planets future.

I Am Greta is a documentary that is about a 15-year-old named Greta who is a global climate activist. I found it incredibly inspiring to watch her determination and understanding of what is happening to our climate, and how it caused a worldwide movement. The film highlights the power of activism and reminds us to be mindful of our responsibilities to protect the planet.

A thorough and personal overview of Greta’s accomplishments, aims, and person. Its goal is not to educate about the environment or about Greta’s specific stances but to spread an awareness and perhaps spark an interest in the crisis we face and those who oppose its resolution.

Yeah, time to do even more! So interesting that a skinny, young, woman can make half the world go bananas. To lie, and spew out hatred. Addicted to their destructive "lifestyle". Cleaning up takes real guts 🫵

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
