The Worst Person in the World

Jule (Reinsve) is not what one would generally refer to as a committed person. About to turn 30, she decides to change her college major and break up with her long-term boyfriend. Now that she is free to pursue seemingly endless possibilities in the world, she finds herself wavering over artistic passions and professions, wondering about motherhood and navigating relationships with two different men — one a successful comic book artist (Lie) and the other a charismatic barista (Nordrum). All of this, she hopes, will give her the answers she seeks regarding her identity and capacity for happiness.

Director: Joachim Trier. Stars: Renate Reinsve, Anders Danielsen Lie, Herbert Nordrum, Hans Olav Brenner, Maria Grazia Di Meo. 2021. 128 minutes. Comedy/Drama.

See For Me

Sophie (Davenport), a blind woman, is cat-sitting in a secluded mansion when she finds herself to be the victim of a home invasion by thieves looking for a hidden safe. The only way she can defend herself is by using a phone app called "See For Me," which connects her to a volunteer across the country who will act as her eyes and, in this case, hopefully help her survive. Thankfully, Sophie is connected to Kelly (Kennedy), an army veteran who spends her days playing first-person shooter games. Still, if she wants to survive the night, Sophie will need all the help she can get.

Director: Randall Okita. Stars: Skyler Davenport, Jessica Parker Kennedy, Laura Vandervoort, Kim Coates, Keaton Kaplan, George Tchortov. 2021. 92 minutes. Crime/Drama.
