You're a Good Person
The Worst Person in the World portrays a somewhat lost woman's search for love and meaning. The protagonist has a disinterested and emotionally absent father and perhaps this tidbit explains the lack of commitment to a career path or mate. It may explain her longing for something that she just can't seem to find -- she is perpetually unsatisfied. This is a movie about a person who is waiting for life to happen while failing to see that it's happening under her nose.
There is a part where the ex-boyfriend comments that the protagonist is a "good person". Sure, she is not horrible. She is not intentionally cruel but she is self-involved. She is not especially good. She doesn't seem to see outside of her own experience until something significant happens. I enjoyed the film for the scenery, the pacing, the acting.
