Oscar nominated for Best Original Screenplay and International Film
THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD is a modern drama-comedy about the quest for love and meaning in contemporary Oslo. It chronicles four years in the life of Julie (Renate Reinsve), a young woman who navigates the troubled waters of her love life and struggles to find her career path, leading her to take a realistic look at who she really is.
"The romantic drama for people who hate romantic dramas." - Peter Howell, Toronto Star
"Any film that can combine questions of mortality with funny, fully alive scenes of sex, social awkwardness, professional screw-ups and throwaway fun is a rich one. Its brilliant, full-on performance from Reinsve deserves to be celebrated far and wide." - Time Out
"The film may be the prime example of how to restore fun, significance, and even a little bit of sex to the well-worn terrain of the romantic comedy." - Slant Magazine
"If you have ever felt that life is passing you by, then this wistful and warm film from Norwegian director Joachim Trier will hit you like a ton of bricks." - Radio Times
"I fell in love with The Worst Person in the World and you will too. This is a gloriously funny, moving, sexy, and smart romantic dramedy that subverts all expectations." - Awards Radar
"Captures the fierce energy and hyperbole of youth, the sense that any chance meeting could send one's life spinning off in a new direction." - Seven Days
