REVIEW: The film's “wise and enormously empathetic pictures often capture characters in a frenetic sort of stasis, unsure of what they really want but frantically finding plenty that they do not,” writes film critic seanmburns.

Julie went to medical school for a couple of years before she decided that psychology might be a better fit. Then she dropped out of college and became a photographer, spending all her student loans on cameras and lenses. This is what your 20s are for, right? Trying on potential professions and partners, the messy process of finding where you fit in the world.

Writer-director Joachim Trier loves making movies about people like Julie. His wise and enormously empathetic pictures often capture characters in a frenetic sort of stasis, unsure of what they really want but frantically finding plenty that they do not.

Aksel’s kind of a dinosaur anyway, watching his once wildly popular comic series about a foul-mouthed, sexist cat wash up on the rocks of the current cultural climate. There’s something incredibly poignant about the character, with Trier and regular co-screenwriter Eskil Vogt working through some rather intensely relatable issues for aging Gen Xers.

Trier and Vogt have always written heavily literary screenplays, their verbal density countered by the former’s light, freewheeling touch behind the camera. The film’s chapter structure allows all sorts of opportunities for digressions and tangents, skipping across years and relationships with a wry, third-person narrator sometimes filling us in on what we’ve missed.
