Film Probe Daily Picks #11

Joachim Trier brings us one of the most meaningful and relatable films of the last ten years, The Worst Person in the World (2021) is a Norwegian feature that follows the chronicles Julie’s life. Julie is a young woman who navigates love, loss, career and self identity. This film is about the ongoing question of, ‘Who am I?’ - this film challenges the stereotype of life and what is expected of us. 

The film relishes in the beauty of the unknown, Julie doesn’t know what she wants out of life and that is ok. She is navigating the complexities of modern life, she is searching for meaning and identity. She encounters the anxieties of young adulthood and the challenges of relationships and commitment. Julie is one of the most relatable characters I have ever seen on screen, she is indecisive, doubts herself and makes mistakes. 

Available on Channel 4, MUBI, Prime Video & Apple TV+ 🇬🇧
