The Worst Person in the World

Support the Girls
Why this pick
Its quick, humane dialogue and warmly chaotic ensemble find comedy in women trying to keep impossible ambitions and fragile relationships afloat over one hectic day.
03
Obvious Child
Why this pick
Carries a similarly unguarded, literate comic voice: a flawed young New Yorker navigates intimacy and adulthood with jokes that never flatten the emotional stakes.
04
The Souvenir
Why this pick
For the more vulnerable side of Mistress America: an observant young woman searches for an artistic identity amid a defining, awkwardly intimate relationship.
05
Kicking and Screaming
Why this pick
Baumbach’s earlier chamber comedy shares the precise banter and post-collegiate drift, following articulate friends whose cleverness only partly protects them from uncertainty.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
College freshman Tracy Fishko (Lola Kirke) is having trouble adjusting to college life at Barnard College. She eventually meets and befriends a fellow student, Tony, and even develops a crush on him, but when he begins dating another girl called Nicolette, she feels alone again. On her mother's advice, she contacts her soon-to-be stepsister Brooke (Greta Gerwig), who also lives in New York.
