"The Norwegian actor was at Cannes, where The Worst Person in the World had premiered the previous evening. Joachim Trier's film, which follows Julie, a young woman on a capricious yet uncompromising quest for meaning and happiness, was the first Reinsve had ever starred in. During the screening, she decided this movie is great, but I am shit! Hours later she was confronting the possibility that she might be one of the greatest actors of her generation."
"This newspaper's verdict A star is born was, she said, too much to process, so I just started puking. My whole image of myself and what I could do just changed instantly. Reinsve went on to win the best actress prize at the festival. Her performance would later be shortlisted for a Bafta and a slew of other awards (the film itself received two Oscar nominations)."
One day in July 2021 Renate Reinsve read the Guardian and vomited, a reaction to sudden acclaim after The Worst Person in the World premiered at Cannes. The film was her first starring role and led her to consider that she might be among the greatest actors of her generation. She won the best actress prize at Cannes and received further nominations including a Bafta shortlist; the film secured two Oscar nominations. She deliberately kept a distance from praise and criticism to preserve her self-image, presenting a serene, self-effacing persona and resisting fame’s addictive pull.
