Quote:

Aksel:  I always worried something would go wrong, but the things that went wrong were never what I worried about.

Thoughts:

The trailer is a bit deceiving

It'll have you believe it's about one thing

When really, it's not

Especially given the title

And the glee of this carefree woman

The story is told in 12 parts

With a prologue and an epilogue

Having watched this film on a whim

It makes you think about that feeling

Of being the worst

But maybe that's not the language you use-

Guilt for not being a better partner, son/daughter, etc...

For making the tough decisions

Or not making them

And the cost of perspective

Worth the watch.
