Reviews
- “Life can change in a split second, and The Worst Person in the World makes it clear that while making major life decisions is important, there’s an entire swath of unexpected moments and choices that will irrevocably change who we are, and these can come at any time.” Collider.
- “A minor epic about uncertainty in both life and love, "The Worst Person in the World" is a revelation, a pitch-perfect romantic comic-drama that flips rom-com tropes so effectively that it winds up transcending the entire genre.” The Detroit News.
