Audience Reviews for The Worst Person in the World

  • Mar 26, 2022
    From the outset you think that this might be a snarky anti-romantic comedy that's drenched in smug irony but as it goes along the movie reveals itself to be a deeply emotional examination of how people fall in and out of love and the regrets that haunt us.
