Christina Newland iNews.co.uk There is something contrived about the set-up of The Worst Person in the World, in its ho-hum “everyday” bait and switch, in its melodramatic plot turns that are well-disguised by the subtlety of Trier’s style and the skill of his actors. Rated: 3/5 Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Larushka Ivan-Zadeh Metro Newspaper (UK) Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind meets Fleabag in Norway with this smart romcom about a drifting bookshop worker (Renate Reinsve) nearing 30. Dec 27, 2022 Full Review Alissa Wilkinson Vox It’s sobering and moving, without too many contrivances or too much sentimentality.

Rated: 5/5 Jul 15, 2024 Full Review Juan José Beteta Cinencuentro 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] Oct 3, 2023 Full Review Greg Carlson Vague Visages Trier is a gifted storyteller.
