I Am Greta

Good movie!

source: I Am Greta

It's disturbing that so much vitriol and hate can be targeted at a young woman whose only wish is for the governments of the world to recognise the overwhelming evidence that supports climate change and for them to do something about it before it's too late (assuming it's not too late already). Conversely, it's refreshing and inspiring to know that a young woman has been able to mobilise such a strong and powerful force to fight against the intransigence and/or misinformation pedalled primarily by biased middle aged and older men; although this is primarily a documentary about a person and not a movement. That person is trying to change the world for the better and, with the help, support and vision of the youth of today (and a few others), let's wish her success in her crusade against greed, corruption and ignorance while joining her in the fight for our survival!

Thank you, Greta, and the makers of the important documentary. Our world needs more caring people. Please continue! 💚💚💚

Powerful story that shows the struggles and journey of Greta. We must act!

Greta is authentic and this film is a tonic in a shallow consumerist world. The comments on the low scores are often frivolous. It is sad that people are so threatened by the truth, although of course it is an uncomfortable truth, that they attack Greta, very cowardly. It is great to see behind the scenes as the news was hitting about various moments. Very highly recommended

Your rating on imdb should be about if you liked the documentary and not if you believe in what Greta stands for. 'I am Greta' is a beautiful portret how one small girl started a movement. The sequence of her public speeches she has written herself shows what an exceptionally gifted person she is. And how the world leaders have no idea how to react to that. The film also zooms in on her vulnerable sides as a result of the immense pressure on her shoulders. I really enjoyed watching it and had a lump in my throat during a big part of it.

My favourite part of this film is that it reserved judgment one way or another about the subject that they were covering so intimately, which must have been quite a tight-rope to walk, but they succeeding in this perfectly. I don't usually comment on others' reviews, but I have to add that I suspect the vast majority of people giving this a 1/10 (a 1? Those aren't serious votes or Leni Riefenstahl's films would all get 1/10 if the only merit measured is the popularity of the subject matter, come on now) I would bet my left arm never watched this film at all, at most they have read synopses of parts some alt-right website found a hair to split with on Facebook or 8chan or wherever, and are basing their votes purely based on what their particular political cult tells them is bad or good. So don't heed the low rating this gets on IMDb, this really is an emotionally engaging and insight film no matter whether you are someone who even doesn't believe man-made climate change is real. I watched this with one guy, an Engineer, who thinks climate change is actually due to environmental encroachment. the other one a QAnon-believing III%er, and we talked about the film for a good two hours afterward, which I think is a sign of a successful film in my books.

An apt look at a brave and remarkable figure that's been able to galvanise the urgency that her generation faces as a result of climate change and inertia of inaction

This has been without a doubt the best coverage on Greta and her rebirth from being the invisible girl to this amazing and strong woman she has become. She has awaken millions into the issue of the climate change, she trully became the face of this critical issue. Many were not awake of the whole situation because often the scientific community has been ignored, she breaks that barrier and puts it in the face. She's trully the most powerfull lil human hero we have now and her fight has just begun.
