The Worst Person in the World (2021) The Worst Person In The World Teaser Trailer (2021) | Movieclips Indie
A brilliant Swedish comedy that is not actually about the worst person in the world. Instead, it's simply a movie about a woman who can't decide what kind of life she wants to live, and flits between several men and a few professions as she attempts to figure everything out.
Anchored by a remarkably good central performance from Renate Reinsve, The Worst Person in the World is a movie about living in the world today, aging, and finding ways to make yourself feel happy and fulfilled even when the world around you seems determined to make that impossible.
Anatomy of a Fall (2023) ANATOMY OF A FALL - Official Trailer
A murder mystery that is not all that willing to offer definitive answers, Anatomy of a Fall follows the aftermath of a man's death as his wife stands trial for murdering him. The man fell from a third-story balcony, and while the movie delves deep into the minutia of whether it's possible that she pushed him, it also spends plenty of time dissecting their marriage in an attempt to establish a motive.
The trial framework makes the movie feel fully structured, but within that structure, we get a sense of how a marriage between two smart, intelligent people can fully unravel. Sandra Huller's central performance is among 2023's best work.
High Fidelity (2000) High Fidelity (2000) Trailer #1 | Movieclips Classic Trailers
Adapted from a novel of the same name, High Fidelity tells the story of a music obsessive who loves a great top-five list, and decides to recount the stories of his five most important romantic relationships. John Cusack stars as Rob, a man who could very easily be totally unlovable but instead feels like a complicated, slightly annoying person you probably know.
The movie itself is surprisingly romantic, and it's anchored by a genuinely terrific soundtrack. High Fidelity is a comedy that addresses the complexity of giving yourself to another person, and that's part of why it's so good.
Little Women (2019) LITTLE WOMEN - Official Trailer (HD)
The fallest movie to ever fall, Greta Gerwig's Little Women adaptation is a brilliant reinterpretation of one of the most popular novels ever written. The film tells the story of four sisters as they grow up in 19th-century Massachusetts during the Civil War, and while the film has moments where it intersects with that conflict, it's really a foundational coming-of-age story about the difficulty of being a woman who wants their humanity recognized.
Anchored by brilliant performances from Florence Pugh and Saoirse Ronan, Little Women is lush and beautiful to look at, even as the drama on screen will also keep you engaged.
Smile (2022) Smile | Official Trailer (2022 Movie)
No fall movie list would be complete without at least one scary entry, and Smile is a great recent horror effort that is genuinely terrifying. The movie tells the story of a psychiatrist who has a horrific encounter with a patient, and then finds herself haunted by apparitions and hallucinations.
Smile is genuinely terrifying, and part of the terror comes from the way this particular crisis leaves the movie's central character unsure if anything that is happening to her is real. Smile is disorienting, brilliant, and has a sequel, the aptly titled Smile 2, that may be even better than the first installment.
