The Worst Person In The World (2021) - Movie Review


This is going to be a tricky film to write about. Partly because this is a Norwegian film, a part of world cinema culture that I know even less about than what I usually cover on here (I covered the literal first Norwegian film I ever saw right here only a few years ago), but mainly because trying to encompass everything this film is going for in my usual style is a tall order. This film is a lot, and where that would normally a warning for others, I mean that in the sense that it deals in ‘a lot’. But if I had to strain and give an early summary of my thoughts on the film in a single sentence, the best I can come up with is “two hours of the most unvarnished depiction of the Millennial experience I’ve ever seen”.

The Night Eats The World (2019) - Movie Review



I’ve gone on record a few times in previous reviews that I have a serious weakness for zombie movies. Far as I’m concerned, the weirder, the stupider, the more outright insane, the better. And yet, with how much I’ve delved into my love for this sub-genre, one question still seems to elude me: Why? Why is it this specific brand of genre cinema that sticks to my heart the easiest? I could just chalk it up to nostalgia for Planet Terror, the film that made me realise I loved film at large, let alone zombie films, but that still doesn’t seem to fit. I bring all this up because today’s entry in the genre makes for a distinct diversion from the norm… and honestly, it helped me finally pin down why I love this genre so damn much.
