Composed, noble and living up to its subject’s wishes to focus on the facts, Greta Thunberg: A Year to Change the World was a demand for change, not a cry for help. At its centre was a young woman on a mission to save us all. Read full review

Effectively an act of worship: a televisual version of a medieval cathedral, a monument to our new religion of environmentalism, constructed with impressive craftsmanship and soaring ambition, and dedicated to its patron saint, Greta. The film is thus predictable, but still awesome. ... Greta’s critics often say to her that she will grow up one day, but the film reminds us that this young woman is already self-possessed far beyond her years. Read full review

That’s the overall effect the series will have, unless you’re a confirmed Greta hater: pessimism for our future tempered by admiration, if not awe, for her preternatural poise, her tirelessness and her courage. The contrast of her seeming detachment and an evident, almost painful depth of emotion, intimately seen in the documentary, is moving. Read full review

Not only does Greta Thunbrerg: A Year To Change The World reinforce the young activist’s forceful language about climate change, it shows some glimpses into her motivation and drive, as well. Read full review

Thunberg has her head screwed on and what the first episode of this series showed, without doubt, is that she does not enjoy the limelight. Her crusade to get governments across the world to take climate change seriously is not about personal adulation or fame. In fact, there were moments here where she seemed to be hating everything about it. Read full review

Another target of review-bombimg from right wing men who haven't even seen this docu series but praise Dinesh D'Souza' propaganda films. It's great and very enlightening

The movie arouses mixed feelings. In fact, it's difficult to say what was the purpose of the creation of this series. There were some scenes from Greta's life, interviews with her and her father, short relations from her trips, meetings and speeches, but nothing else. But in my opinion, thisThe movie arouses mixed feelings. In fact, it's difficult to say what was the purpose of the creation of this series. There were some scenes from Greta's life, interviews with her and her father, short relations from her trips, meetings and speeches, but nothing else. But in my opinion, this movie is potentially dangerous to Greta and her family, because after watching it, just open Google Maps and Street View to find a Greta's house in Stockholm in a few minutes (Greta lives only 2km to the west from Parliament, where she protested) and even recognize the balcony and windows of her apartment. BBC several times showed the nearest neighborhood of her house and a view from the windows of her apartment, so finding location is really easy. In my opinion it's bad, it was completely unnecessary. In the movie, the topic of death threats and hate, which receives her family, was discussed, and this approach to the problem of privacy and security of Greta's family certainly won't improve the situation. Summary: watching this movie wasn't a waste of time, but after the announcements I expected more.… Expand

I am curious about her, and this has led me to read the science and analysis. Which led me to understanding that the real culprits are China and India - yet these countries do not seem to get her attention. Why?

People are working overtime to make something out of this girl. She visited some first world nations and yelled about pollution. You wont catch her rich ass actually going to India or China. Why is this dummy still relevant?
