The Worst Person In The World Where To Watch
Ever feel like you're just...winging it? Like everyone else has a life plan and you're just trying to decide what to have for breakfast? Well, you're not alone. And if you need some cinematic validation, look no further than The Worst Person in the World.
This isn't some preachy morality tale, despite the title. Instead, it's a surprisingly funny and heartwarming (yes, really!) look at a young woman named Julie as she navigates love, life, and figuring out who she actually is.
Julie's Journey: A Comedy of Errors (and Existential Dread)
Julie, played brilliantly by Renate Reinsve (who, spoiler alert, is definitely NOT the worst person in the world), is a bit of a wanderer. She starts as a medical student, then switches to psychology, then photography. Sound familiar to anyone?
Must Read
Her love life is just as...adventurous. She's got a cool, older boyfriend, Aksel, a successful comic book artist. Their relationship is comfortable, but is it right?
Then she meets Eirik, a charming barista. Fireworks ensue, and Julie is faced with some big decisions. The movie doesn't judge her; it just shows us her messy, relatable, human experience.
Why You Should Watch (Even if You're Not a "Film Person")
Okay, so it's a foreign film (Norwegian, to be exact). Don't let that scare you! The subtitles are easy to follow, and honestly, the story is so universal, you'll forget you're even reading them.
It's funny! Like, laugh-out-loud funny. The film tackles serious themes with a light touch. Julie's awkwardness and self-deprecating humor are incredibly endearing.
It's thought-provoking. The film deals with big questions about aging, relationships, and what it means to find your place in the world. You will ponder these questions long after the credits roll.
So, Where Can You Watch This Masterpiece?
Alright, the important stuff! You're probably itching to watch this by now. Thankfully, there are several options!
The Worst Person in the World is available to rent or buy on major streaming platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and YouTube Movies. This is usually the easiest way to watch from the comfort of your couch.
It's also sometimes available on streaming services like Hulu or Criterion Channel, depending on your region. Keep an eye out for it on your favorite platforms!
If you're lucky, your local independent cinema might be showing it! Supporting independent cinemas is always a good thing. Plus, seeing it on the big screen is a truly special experience.
A Few Final Thoughts
Don't go into this movie expecting a Hollywood ending. The Worst Person in the World is messy, real, and sometimes heartbreaking. But it's also full of hope and humor.
It's a reminder that it's okay to not have all the answers. That it's okay to change your mind. And that even the "worst" people (if such a thing even exists) are just trying to figure things out, just like the rest of us.
So grab some popcorn, settle in, and prepare to fall in love with Julie and her wonderfully imperfect journey. You might just find a little bit of yourself in her story.
