Plot


Julie is a medical student in Oslo who transfers to psychology and then photography. In her late 20s, she starts a relationship with Aksel Willman, a comic artist 15 years older than her. Now dabbling in writing, she spends a weekend with Aksel at his parents' house. Aksel floats the idea of starting a family with Julie, but Julie is uncertain. While walking home from a publishing event for Aksel, Julie crashes a wedding reception and meets Eivind, a barista. Though both are in relationships, they spend the night together sharing jokes and intimacies, but without sexual relations. They exchange only their first names and part ways.

Julie writes a short story about feminism and oral sex. Aksel is impressed with it and encourages her to post it online, where it receives attention. She celebrates her 30th birthday at her divorced mother's home but her estranged father fails to attend, claiming back pain. Days later, Julie's half-sister inadvertently reveals that their father was watching her play at a football tournament on the day of her birthday. He makes excuses to decline Aksel's invitation to visit him and Julie in Oslo. While working at a bookstore, Julie encounters Eivind and his girlfriend Sunniva. At dinner with Aksel's brother and sister-in-law, Aksel complains about the sanitised cinematic adaptation of his politically incorrect comic series Bobcat, leaving Julie feeling bored and ignored. She dreams that she goes on a date with Eivind, where they fall in love. The next day, she breaks up with Aksel.

Eivind leaves an obsessively social-justice-and-climate-conscious Sunniva because of her restrictive lifestyle. Julie and Eivind move in together. He hosts a small party where one of his friends uncovers Eivind's stash of psychedelic mushrooms, which Julie consumes, leading to hallucinations. The following night, she confides in Eivind that she can be herself around him, but he seems to ignore her claims. Aksel's brother happens upon Julie at work and discloses that Aksel has inoperable pancreatic cancer. Sometime later, Eivind finds the short story Julie had written. When he assumes it is based on her real-life experiences, Julie angrily denies it and patronises him.

Julie learns she is pregnant and delays telling Eivind. She visits Aksel in the hospital where Aksel confides that he is afraid to die and still loves her. Julie admits that she is pregnant. Despite his assertions that she would be a good mother, she remains frightened. Returning home, Julie tells Eivind about her pregnancy, and they decide to separate while she determines whether she wants to keep the child. After spending time with Aksel, Julie later receives a voicemail from his brother reporting that Aksel is unlikely to survive the night. While showering, she has a miscarriage.

Some time later, Julie is working as an on-set photographer for a film shoot. She photographs an actress and then sees her outside with Eivind and a baby. She returns home to edit the day's photos.

Reception


On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 96% of 237 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.7/10. The website's consensus reads, "The Worst Person in the World concludes Joachim Trier's Oslo Trilogy with a romantic comedy that delightfully subverts the genre's well-worn tropes."[24] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 90 out of 100, based on 47 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[25]

The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw described the film as "one of Cannes' best" and "an instant classic".[26] Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair called it "exquisite, wistful (and downright sad)", praising the cast performances and Trier's writing.[27] In his review for IndieWire, David Ehrlich gave the film a grade of B and commended Reinsve's performance, stating "If Julie is less of a character than a vividly realized archetype, Reinsve didn’t get the message."[28] Vanity Fair and The Atlantic declared The Worst Person in the World to be the best film of 2021.[29][30]
