Overview
Following up Golden Age favourite The Worst Person in the World, Joachim Trier and Renate Reinsve reunite to explore thorny familial ties in their latest film Sentimental Value. When their estranged father Gustav (Stellan Skarsgård) suddenly reappears, sisters Nora (Reinsve) and Agnes (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas) are confronted by the past as he works on a hopeful comeback film based on true personal events. When Nora turns down the leading role, the family soon find a young Hollywood star (Elle Fanning) in their midst rehearsing, researching and complicating an already knotty dynamic.
“A transcendent, moving masterpiece”
“Renate Reinsve is one of the greatest actors of her generation”
“This is Stellan Skarsgard's crowning achievement”
“The best film of the year”
Why See This Film
Surging forth with all the intelligence, style, humour and sensitivity that made Joachim Trier’s Oslo Trilogy shine, Sentimental Value is just as electrifying to inhabit even as it digs at the dark corners of a family history not unlike most: complicated. Reinsve and Skarsgård are a revelation as a father-daughter duo attempting to figure out their relationship and reconcile past traumas through the only thing they know: their art, even if it costs them as much strife. Needless to say, it’s one of our favourites of the year.
