Millennial comedies to watch online

The millennial generation is, in many ways, misunderstood: they grew up and matured amid rapid digital technological innovations, constant economic crises, and new conceptions of both romantic and sexual relationships that have transformed their outlook on life. Few genres have captured their implications, concerns, and experiences better than comedy, which expresses their nostalgia, insecurities, hunger for experiences, and, yes, a certain egocentrism that can spiral out of control. Below, check out this selection of millennial comedies you can watch online, whether to reminisce or to understand this particular age group.

A delirious satire on the immense power of egocentrism that has gained in our lives, to the point of unleashing truly chilling cases of narcissism. Sick of Myself is the story of Singe and Thomas, a competitive and unhealthy couple whose breaking point comes when he, an artist, starts gaining more attention. She, a modest cafe barista, feels jealous and resorts to extreme measures: take a forbidden medicine to purposely get sick and call attention. The situation spirals out of control to unimaginable levels that it's better not to say here to ruin the surprise. But suffice to say it is a portrait as funny as it is outrageous of a society that has put too much emphasis on the ego, and you will laugh as much as feel secondhand embarrassment.

If The Worst Person in the World had a sister film, but more chaotic, furious, and eccentric, it would be Ninjababy. Starring the brilliant Kristine Thorp (Sick of Myself), the film is about a party girl who dropped out of college but is faced with the news that she's pregnant. While trying to figure out who the father is and whether or not to give the baby up for adoption, she also begins to mature while interacting with a character named Ninjababy, a product of her imagination created to cope with her situation. With anarchic energy, it's a film that captures the desires and worldviews of an entire generation.

It may seem trivial to say this, but life is an eternal learning experience - and 'Verdens verste menneske' makes a small synthesis of this thought. Nominated for two categories at the 2022 Oscars, Best Foreign Film and Best Original Screenplay, the romantic comedy is a generational reflection of many young adults and, without a doubt, one of the best films of the 2021/2022 season. The story makes us reflect that often we find the right person in the wrong relationship and vice versa. The biggest problem is feeling an emptiness every time we meet (or get used to) someone. After all, it is up to us to fill what is empty in us and not in other people. In life, we have infinite possibilities and indecisions. Often, relationships prevent us from seeing that we are only spectators of other people's choices. Decisions are difficult to make, but they are necessary - especially when our priorities in life begin to be distorted.

"What is life like for a flight attendant in a low-cost airline? That is the story of 'Rien à foutre', a film by the duo Emmanuel Marre and Julie Lecoustre that shows the day to day of Cassandre (Adèle Exarchopoulos) on the plane while she runs away from problems with her family and the lack of any real relationship - be it with friends or romantic interests. With excellent acting from the French actress, the film still finds space to reflect on the precariousness of services and how people are affected in these processes. A good French drama that should captivate and move."

Edgar Wright ('Baby Driver') adapts Bryan Lee O'Malley's comics with all the adolescent energy and game-inspired enthusiasm of the original material. The result is an engaging, fun, and charismatic teen movie about a young man (played by Michael Cera) who wants to win the heart of his beloved Ramona (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), but must defeat all her exes (and ex-girlfriends) to do so. The visuals are exciting and there are many references to pop culture.
