What makes Sentimental Value so compelling is its emotional generosity and honesty. The performances — particularly from Renate Reinsve as Nora and Stellan Skarsgård as Gustav — are radiant with vulnerability and depth, making each exchange feel lived-in and resonant. The film does not offer easy resolutions but invites audiences into the complexity of love, loss and reconciliation, making space for laughter, regret and tender recognition. Visually rich and deeply felt, it rewards attentive viewers with an experience that lingers, reminding us why cinema can be such a powerful mirror for our own hidden histories and heartfelt longings.
Film Notes
A deeply human reflection on family, memory and the ties that bind across generations.
Sentimental Value unfolds as a layered family drama built around the emotional terrain of a father and his adult daughters navigating grief, creative ambition and the intricate dynamics that have shaped their relationships. The story is rooted in Oslo’s familial spaces, where long-buried memories surface through conversations, revisited rooms and uneasy silences. Nora, a celebrated stage actress wrestling with stage fright and unresolved pain, must confront her father’s return and his desire to make art from their shared past — a film within a film — while Agnes, quieter yet profoundly affected, negotiates her own place within this uneasy reunion. Joachim Trier’s direction lets the narrative breathe, weaving nuance into every look, gesture and choice of frame.
