Sentimental Value (15)

Following the global success of The Worst Person in the World, Oscar nominee Joachim Trier reunites with BAFTA nominee Renate Reinsve for this universally acclaimed follow-up. Norway’s entry for Best International Feature at the upcoming Oscars, Sentimental Value also won this year’s Cannes Film Festival Grand Prix.

Featuring career-best performances from Golden Globe winner Stellan Skarsgård and Elle Fanning, it stars Reinsve as Nora, a successful stage actress who, with her sister Agnes (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas), reunites with their estranged father Gustav (Skarsgård) – a once-renowned film director planning a comeback with a script based on their family. When Nora declines the lead, Gustav turns his attention to Rachel (Fanning), a Hollywood starlet seeking her big breakthrough. With their fraught dynamics made even more complex, Nora, Agnes and Gustav are forced to confront their difficult pasts.

Anchored by astonishing performances, Sentimental Value is a rich, graceful and profoundly moving film that intimately explores sisterhood, father-daughter relationships and the power of childhood memories.
