After how blown away I and many others were by The Worst Person in the World (raved about here), it would be easy for Joachim Trier‘s follow up to be a letdown.

The wait is over folks, we’re here. The fall film festival season is literally underway, with so much of the early speculation about to give way to analysis and reviews.
