The Worst Person in the World

The Worst Person in the World (Verdens verste menneske, 2021) — a Norwegian drama from director Joachim Trier you can watch online on iFILM. Renate Reinsve plays Julie, a young Oslo woman drifting between medicine, psychology, photography, and bookselling, searching for a life that fits.

The film unfolds in twelve chapters, each a small collision between who Julie thinks she is and who she's becoming. Caught between long-term partner Aksel (Anders Danielsen Lie), a graphic novelist a decade her senior, and the spontaneous energy of Eivind (Herbert Nordrum), she keeps choosing and second-guessing, sometimes in the same afternoon. No dramatic resolution arrives — just the quiet weight of real time passing.

Trier co-wrote the script with Eskil Vogt; the film earned two Academy Award nominations, including Best International Feature Film, and won Reinsve the Best Actress prize at Cannes. Stream The Worst Person in the World (2021) online on iFILM.
