After watching The Worst Person in the World, I sat completely shaken in the cinema last Saturday. I was the last one left in the hall and I couldn't stop sobbing. Now, I do cry quite easily at movies, but this film really affected me intensely. The Worst Person in the World is a Norwegian-Danish-French-Swedish romantic and dark comedy film, directed by Joachim Trier.

The film tells the story of Julie (Renate Reinsve), a young woman of almost 30 years old, who is searching for true love, the meaning of life, and especially for herself. We see four years of her life, during which she enters into several romantic relationships and struggles to find the ‘right’ career. The story is told through different chapters, in which we see her with a different lover or job each time. She doesn't quite know what she wants to do with her life, but she has very high expectations of it. While watching, I could only think: welcome to my life.

The film was painfully and beautifully confronting at the same time. In my opinion, it was a very accurate representation of many millennials from this current time. Continuously that present unrest and thinking that it can all be better. Expectation patterns, contradictory desires, difficult choices, disappointments; actually everything that comes with growing up is addressed in this film. And how much I love that: films that are so real, in which nothing is made more beautiful than it actually is. As a searching millennial, this is a film you absolutely must see.
