Terribly sad and thoughtful about life and love, but also some quirky and fantastical moments.

Totally reccomend this one worths your time. 7.7/10

it breaks what i expect from just a romantic drama movie, there were some creative shots i didn't expect..
plus the main actress ate up the screen, her character is very well written

What a bunch of shitty takes here. Anyway, I loved this very much. It reminded me of the TV miniseries Normal People, which I also loved. The opening 10 minutes is just fantastic even though the tone has nothing to do with the rest of the movie, which will be disappointing to some.

The title of this film is misleading. I can name at least four people worse than her.

A good romance, perhaps a bit too long and slow in some passages. Not necessarily the most memorable among other European films like these.

You’d think that, as a 28 year old who feels completely lost in life, this movie would have resonated with me more. I kept hearing people say this was a movie about a 30 year old who is lost in life and struggles with indecision. While I think that’s an accurate description of her character that’s not really what the movie is about. 

This isn’t really a story about a woman finding her way. It’s not even a story about her being lost in life. The main focus of the story is on her romantic relationships, which I had a very hard time caring about. She seems to have a hard time caring about about them too, which is why it’s weird that’s what the story focuses on. 

I was expecting to like this but it’s a boring glimpse into a girl (who just so happens to be lost) ’s “love” life. I wish it had focused more on her as an individual. 

Ended up being an absolute chore to watch.

I really didn't expected a Norwegian movie would end with an english version of Águas de Março by Tom Jobim and Elis Regina.

This is exactly the kind of film that moves me. Equal parts simple and intentionally imperfect, focusing on an universal human experience of not knowing what the fuck we’re doing.

I do agree that I would have loved to have more of Julie being single - when she breaks up with Aksel she says that the big issue is that she doesn’t think she can stand on her own and that’s why they need to separate, only to then immediately enter into another relationship. I guess in the end we see that she has indeed found peace in herself, no appendices, but I think it would have been great to see more of that.

Above all, I relate heavily to Julie and am really glad this film exists.

One of the things that I love about this movie is that it doesn't imply that any of the leads are necessarily the worst person in the world. Of course the title itself is an exaggeration as there is no worst person in the world. I think what the movie does so well is show that at different times we all (intentionally or not!) put our worst foot forward. I've dated people that thought I was the greatest guy in the world and others that would hang up if I called. The film asks us to think about the very nature of relationships. What do we owe the other person?

Like a man at a feminist parade, it tries hard but is more self-serving than it realizes.

Historically, movies were often centered around white males who were banal and self obsessed. Well, in these modern times, women now have their turn in this spotlight.

Julie is a 29 - 30 year old woman in Norway who can't make decisions and to whom nothing exciting ever happens, except resembling a lot of other heroines in a lot of other movies. Or maybe I'm just too old and have experienced all of these things in my life, repeatedly, and so don't need to see them reiterated back to me by a narcissistic stranger.

Now go watch the masterpiece known as Thelma.

Joachim Trier makes one of his most bland films, tackles the main topics of relationships (Aksel's friends surrounded by children, as opposed to Eivind's friends flirting with hallucinogens), which delimit the generation gap in a very conventional way. The resistance of Julia to growth tries to provoke empathy, but ends up falling into the boring Norwegian obsession with motherhood as a sign of maturity.

Sometimes you remember that years have passed and you’ve had all these moments, relationships and decisions just happen. This movie captures that
