I very much enjoyed The Worst Person in the World! This movie was just so great. Nominated twice at the Oscars for Best Original Screenplay and Best International Film. I’m disappointed it didn’t take home either award but I’m happy with the movies that did. Coda and Drive My Car are very deserving movies. Renate Reinsve plays one of the most likable and fun female characters I’ve had the pleasure of watching. I really liked following the journey of her 20’s. Anders Danielsen Lie and Herbert Nordum play the cinema lover’s Jacob or Edward as both have so much pros and cons to them and you feel for Reinsve’s character. The movie is mostly the three of them and quite a few fairly graphic sex scenes. I applaud Reinsve for how often she’s willing to go topless, I felt it was handled well each time. Joachim Trier crafts such a beautiful story that is laid out very well. I really liked the twelve chapter with an epilogue style, and starting the film with a gorgeous shot set in the pivotal turning point of the film is really smart. So when you get to that scene you’re like “oh, that’s why we started there”. The scene that gives us the poster is so cool! Running through the streets as everyone is frozen really gets in the head of the character and shows her excitement for the choice she makes. You never know the impact someone will have on your life and we take something with us from every relationship we enter into. We are changed in some way by each person we know and this movie does a good job showing that. Not just romantic relationships, but parents, friends, and romantic partners friends. Whether we learn what we want, or what we don’t want, they teach as something we can use as we move on in life. It also shows the pressure we put on people to have children in a dying world or how someone in a relationship is often expected to set aside a dream for the other person. The Worst Person in the World was such a gorgeous film with really good performances and a lot of good messages. I would very highly recommend giving this a watch. I don’t really see what there is to dislike here. I’m giving it a 10/10. Never watched a Norwegian film before, I like the language. -Tyler.
