“Trier is heavily indebted to the French New Wave, and this picture’s most beguiling moment arrives after Julie and Eivind first meet, when all of Oslo seems to freeze in its tracks as she sprints through the stilled streets, giddy with the first flush of infatuation. But eventually the world has to start moving again. It always does. That’s what the movie’s about.” – WBUR’s The ARTery, 02/10/2022
