The Worst Person in the World (15)

Word of mouth has sent this romantic, funny and sad comedy/drama to the top of the independent film charts in recent weeks. Renate Reinsve as Julie gives a brilliant performance as a woman approaching 30, aimless and unsettled. She starts a medical degree, changes to psychology and then decides on photography. Her lovelife follows an equally erratic course. Chronicling four
years in Julie’s life this is a story of our times where so much choice can leave us confused and not knowing when we’re ‘there’ or who is the ‘one’. “The Worst Person in the World carries a shimmery feeling of definitiveness to it. It’s the rare piece of art actually invested in why an entire generation can seem so aimless and indecisive.” Clarisse Loghrey, The Independent.
