Sentimental Value
GALA SCREENING

Official Oscar© Selection—Norway
Grand Prix Winner, Cannes Film Festival
Acclaimed director Joachim Trier (The Worst Person in the World) returns with Sentimental Value, an intimate and layered family drama starring Renate Reinsve, Anders Danielsen Lie, and Stellan Skarsgård. After the death of their mother, sisters Nora (Reinsve) and Agnes (Alma Pöysti) reconnect with their charismatic but absent father Gustav (Skarsgård), a once-renowned director determined to stage a comeback film in their childhood home.
When Nora declines the lead role he wrote for her, Gustav turns to a rising Hollywood star (Elle Fanning), igniting tensions that fracture the family further. Tender, wry, and deeply moving, Sentimental Value explores the bonds that tie us to our parents, the shadows they cast, and the fragile possibility of reconciliation.
“Should cinema this intelligent be this much fun to watch?”
-Robbie Collin, Daily Telegraph (UK)
“A heart-swelling and unexpectedly humor-filled tale
that will break you before it makes you whole again.”
-Tomris Laffly, Elle
