Oslo, August 31, directed by Joachim Trier, is the second film in his Oslo trilogy. Reprise, being the first and worst person in the world, served as the last installment. Oslo, August 31, among the rest of the films, took my heart and then placed it back upside down. The films star the same actor, Anders Danielsen Lie (He plays different characters in each film). Danielsen Lie, who I’ve now grown attached to as a reflective embodiment of delicate acumen. emotional and introspective character-driven films that don’t feel like an invasion of a lesson. I highly recommend them.

The Worst Person in the World 2021
I didn’t know this film would grasp my heart, squeezing, tugging, plucking, caressing, and then returning it, but it did, and now I’m left immobilized in bittersweetness.

Watching Riley Keough perform is always a treat since she is truly one of the best actresses working today. If another actress had portrayed this role, without the skill and presence that Keough conjured, I doubt I would have been as engaged with the film. The directing and cinematography are excellent, keeping me hooked with some moments. However, I found the story a bit boring. Riley brings depth and a unique, disturbed beauty to her character, while avoiding any cliches that could have plagued this performance.

I enjoyed this creepy faux documentary. The actors’ performances portraying grief were so authentic that I was able to slip into the belief that this was a real grieving family. The story and shots of the quaint little town they stayed in, combined with the mysterious death of the young female character, seemed reminiscent of Twin Peaks, clearly serving as an inspiration. Unexpectedly, I didn’t think I would get so emotional watching this, but I did.
