Movies like The Worst Person in the World, ranked
1. Her Side Of The Bed (2017)
Rachel's unraveling life and her fumbling search for meaning through romantic missteps and creative disappointment mirrors the same wry, unflinching examination of twentysomething self-discovery that defines Joachim Trier's character study.
2. Materialists (2025)
Joachim Trier's portrait of self-discovery through romantic uncertainty returns here as a sharp-eyed examination of how external markers of success—the "right" partner, the "right" choice—often obscure what we actually need from love.
3. The Best People (2017)
Joachim Trier's precise dissection of millennial uncertainty returns here through a similarly fractured narrative that uses romantic entanglement as the lens for examining what it means to build an adult life on your own terms.
4. Hannah Berner: None of My Business (2026)
Berner's unsparing comedic dissection of career ambition and romantic confusion captures the same sharp, self-aware humor about adulthood's messiness that Joachim Trier brings to his portrait of a woman refusing easy answers.
5. My Brilliant Career (2026)
Syuzanna Harutyunyan's intimate examination of a woman's resistance to societal expectations mirrors the protagonist's defiant journey toward self-definition over romantic compromise.
6. After (2019)
Joachim Trier's fragmented, chapter-based exploration of romantic indecision and self-discovery through a young woman's eyes shares After's intimate focus on how a single relationship can upend your entire sense of direction.
7. Look Both Ways (2022)
Linklater's split-narrative structure mirrors Joachim Trier's fragmented exploration of how single pivotal moments reshape a young woman's romantic and professional trajectory across years of self-discovery.
8. Some Other Woman (2023)
Eve's paralyzing uncertainty about motherhood, career, and identity mirrors the protagonist's four-year reckoning with adult expectations, but filtered through a psychological thriller lens that makes her internal crisis devastatingly external.
