Cobi says: “I went in with high expectations after loving THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD. This doesn’t land with the same emotional punch, but it’s still thoughtful and beautifully acted.
“Joachim Trier remains astounding in his ability to capture raw, contemporary human emotion without sentimentality (haha) — the way real people hurt, withdraw, forgive, and try again. Renate Reinsve is once again excellent here, guarded and emotionally honest. The story unfolds somewhat predictably, but I still found it decidedly moving. 3.75 cats“
