Do we ever stop coming of age? That’s the question that implicitly sits at the heart of director Joachim Trier’s exceptional romantic dramedy, “The Worst Person in the World” — Norway’s official entry for Best International Feature Film at the 2022 Academy Awards and an early contender for best film of the year. FOX film critic Caroline Siede reviews the film, which is now streaming on Hulu.
Trier has nothing but the deepest empathy for his lovably flawed lead characters, who also include Eivind , the more lighthearted lad who catches Julie’s eye at a party.
Like the best coming-of-age romances, Trier’s funny, wistful film adds epic emotionality to the relatable minutia of everyday life. In the film’s most overtly magical moment, the world literally stops as Julie sneaks away for a romantic tryst. In a surreal trip sequence, magic mushrooms unlock the dark corners of Julie’s subconscious.Yet the most poignant moments in "The Worst Person in the World" are often the most grounded; a flirtatious meet cute, a melancholy sharing of regrets, a fight that melts away into a quiet moment of reconciliation.
Without ever slipping into sentimentalism, "The Worst Person in the World" understands the warts-and-all beauty of what it means to truly live a life to the fullest, stumbling, striving and messing up along the way."The Worst Person in the World" is currently streaming on Hulu. It is also available to rent through Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play, Vudu and other services. Rated R. 127 minutes. Language: Norwegian.
