Summary
Nathan Grossman began filming Greta Thunberg during the first days of her solo school strike outside the Swedish parliament in August 2018, and the documentary follows the fifteen-year-old from that hand-painted sign to worldwide attention. It travels with her by train to speeches at the EU and the French National Assembly, to Davos, and aboard the racing yacht Malizia II on a wind-powered Atlantic crossing to the UN climate summit in New York. Between the podiums are quieter passages with her father Svante, who accompanies her, and her own account of her Asperger's diagnosis and selective mutism. The recurring tension is between the applause she draws and the policy response she does not.
I Am Greta is a 2020 biography and documentary film. Its country of origin is listed as Sweden. Its certificate is PG. It runs 1h 37m.
Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 14 of whom clear the calibration test. Only 47 of its IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 50 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. The cohort it is ranked inside is 2020s films — 7,930 of them.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where I Am Greta lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2020s (7,930 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 47.
