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

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.

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.

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

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.

Greta is an inspiration and this documentary perfectly captures what she is fighting for! While it is a film about her, it also stresses the importance of changing our ways to help stop the climate crisis. This film made me rethink how I view my contribution to climate change and take accountability for how I treat the planet. It is such an important watch!

I Am Greta offers a close, grounded look at Greta Thunberg beyond the headlines, showing her dedication, exhaustion, and conviction in a very human way. The film captures the isolating nature of activism, especially for someone as young as this stepping into a global spotlight. Watching Greta navigate both support and backlash makes the climate crisis feel less abstract and more like a moral responsibility that we all share. The documentary is meaningful because it showcases courage through speaking, even when the world is unwilling to listen.

Hard-hitting, stressful, and incredibly relevant. The story of Greta’s journey throughout her activism is one that we all need to hear, because it shows how difficult standing up for something, even something that is provable and obvious, can be. An inspiring journey that encourages people to stand with Greta and her peers.

This film was very enjoyable to watch. It displayed that no matter age or circumstances you can make real waves, and it was incredibly empowering. It shows viewers that with determination and grit one voice can have such an impact. It makes you want to go and save the world after watching. I definitely recommend.
