Category / Trier, Joachim

May 30, 2022 by Eternality Tan

Reprise (2006)

  • Trier, Joachim
  • 2006, Joachim Trier, Norway
  • Leave a comment

Joachim Trier’s debut feature is still his most striking work—a youthful, frenetic immersion into the intellectual and emotional psyches of two best friends who hope for a big break as authors.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Worst Person in the World, The (2021)

  • Criterion Collection, Trier, Joachim
  • 2021, Joachim Trier, Norway
  • 3 Comments

A romance drama that is also a comedy and an elegy, Trier’s introspective new film has an understated, layered quality—and some cinematic tricks up its sleeves— exploring what this era’s ennui among millennials might feel like. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Louder Than Bombs (2015)

  • Trier, Joachim
  • 2015, France, Joachim Trier, Norway
  • 1 Comment

There are richly-realised characters and performances in this layered drama about depression, centering on a family who can’t seem to communicate with each other, but it doesn’t quite come together in a resonating way by its denouement. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Thelma (2017)

  • Trier, Joachim
  • 2017, Denmark, Joachim Trier, Norway
  • 3 Comments

Joachim Trier’s attempt at genre-type filmmaking doesn’t really break new ground in this straightforward Norwegian psychological drama centering on a young woman with hidden telekinetic powers.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Oslo, August 31st (2011)

  • Trier, Joachim
  • 2011, Denmark, Joachim Trier, Norway
  • 2 Comments

A recovering drug addict leaves his rehabilitation centre for a day to visit his acquaintances in this restrained, melancholic if also warmly empathetic second feature by Joachim Trier.

⭐⭐⭐⭐
