According to Greta

About This Movie

According to Greta is an interesting character study wrapped in the guise of a coming-of-age drama. Directed by Nancy Bardawil, the film has this raw, almost gritty feel that captures the angst of adolescence quite well. Greta, played with a kind of fierce vulnerability, is a tempest of emotions – you really get the sense of her struggle against the mundane life thrust upon her by her grandparents. The Jersey Shore setting adds a nice contrast; it’s vibrant yet lonely, mirroring her own internal chaos. The pacing meanders like a summer day, which fits its themes of personal growth and the impact of unexpected relationships. The romance that blooms feels organic, a genuine balm for Greta’s self-destructive tendencies, making her journey all the more relatable.
