Vox

It’s sobering and moving, without too many contrivances or too much sentimentality.

Mark Kermode

Observer (UK)

Blending melancholy wistfulness with unruly energy and piercing humour, it’s a down-to-earth tale of love and death, boosted by a brilliantly believable central performance and elevated by fantastical moments of hallucinogenic horror and ecstatic joy.

Rated: 4/5

Lovely Norwegian film. It has been a long time since I felt so invigorated and even gratified after watching a film... [Full review in Spanish]

Trier is a gifted storyteller. The Worst Person in the World shows off the filmmaker’s command of rhythm and his affinity for the perfectly placed pop song.

Offscreen With Jillian

The soul of the film is exploring how life is about figuring it out. It speaks to this idea that at some point we are all destined to blossom into these superior beings we were told we would be at a young age leading to waiting instead of living.
