- 100The GuardianPeter BradshawThe GuardianPeter BradshawTrier has taken on one of the most difficult genres imaginable, the romantic drama, and combined it with another very tricky style – the coming-of-ager – to craft something gloriously sweet and beguiling.
- 100The TelegraphRobbie CollinThe TelegraphRobbie CollinThe film’s focus may be tight – just a few tangled, formative years – but it encompasses so much.
- 83The PlaylistIana MurrayThe PlaylistIana MurrayDetailing the thrills and fears of turning 30 down to its mundane but absorbing minutiae, Norwegian filmmaker Joachim Trier’s fifth feature is a pure delight. Laugh-out-loud funny and heartbreaking in equal measure, it’s perhaps his best film since “Oslo, August 31st.”
- 80The Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerThe Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerMore than ever, Trier reveals how well he can keep shifting tones and emotional arcs without losing any narrative momentum.
- 80Time OutDave CalhounTime OutDave CalhounAny film that can combine questions of mortality with funny, fully alive scenes of sex, social awkwardness, professional screw-ups and throwaway fun is a rich one. Its brilliant, full-on performance from Reinsve deserves to be celebrated far and wide.
- 75IndieWireDavid EhrlichIndieWireDavid EhrlichQuick, vibrant, pulsing with all sorts of crossover appeal until a slightly moribund energy takes hold toward the end, Trier’s film is never more fun than when Julie is second-guessing herself and/or trying to keep time from slipping through her fingers.
