Following Reprise (2006) and Oslo, August 31st (2011), the third part of Joachim Trier's Oslo trilogy is a wonderfully poignant drama comedy that chronicles four years in the life Julie, a young woman in her late 20s. She goes through relationship and career changes, but struggles to grasp who or what she wants to be. Renate Reinsve is terrific as Julie, and Anders Danielsen Lie gives another heartbreaking performance as her partner Aksel. Trier stages a few unforgettable scenes.
