Synopsis
According to Greta (2009) is an American coming-of-age drama directed by Nancy Bardawil — watch it online on iFILM. Sixteen-year-old Greta is sharp-tongued, self-destructive, and genuinely damaged. Her mother, three marriages in, ships her off for the summer to her grandparents on the Jersey Shore without much thought.
Greta treats the arrangement like a prison sentence. She tells her grandparents upfront that she plans to kill herself before summer's over, keeping a running list of methods in her notebook. Hilary Duff plays the role stripped of her usual warmth, and Ellen Burstyn anchors every scene she's in as the grandmother trying to get through to the girl.
What unfolds is a quiet, unsentimental portrait of adolescent pain — no tidy lessons, no easy fixes. A summer romance cracks open something real in Greta, and the bravado slowly gives way to something worth watching. Stream According to Greta (2009) on iFILM.
