In August of 2018, Greta Thunberg, a 15-year-old student in Sweden, starts a school strike for the climate. Her question for adults: if you don’t care about her future on Earth, why should she care about her future in school? Within months, her strike evolves into a global movement. Greta, a quiet Swedish girl on the autism spectrum, is now a world famous activist. The team behind Greta has been following the young activist from her very first day of school strike.

An inspirational documentary about a unique personality, about a little girl who became a worldwide symbol. I liked the balance of the film, which does not adore Greta at all; on the contrary, it still emphasizes that she is an ordinary woman who, of course, brought up extraordinary things. I liked the change from “Greta meets famous people" to “famous people meet Greta," the authentic scenes with her father were amazing and I was sad from that strong passage on the boat.

An average documentary that, naturally, doesn’t refrain from a bit of blatant agitprop. Other than that, it’s a well executed behind the scenes look that only tries to build some understanding. But the passionate responses it got are proof that this is just not possible in an age where everyone is an expert in international relations, the environment, and Greta. And they are making me root for this girl, otherwise, I wouldn’t care about her. 60%
