MarcusJul 17, 2025Daddy issues, eldest-daughter trauma, Netflix stopping a character’s passion project from screening theatrically, and a beautiful house undergoing a modern grey renovation; this is covertly the scariest movie of the year.

perfectly acted and written family drama surrounding the intricacies of art and creative work. renate reinsve and stellan skarsgard make this film work, two of the most talented living actors today. emotionally resonant and charismatic; i’ll be thinking of this one for some time
jam jammy jambam lovedSentimental ValueHow a film can make me be belly laugh in one scene and moved to tears in the next (sometimes the same) scene is a marvel. What a phenomenal special film man. 2nd fanning in 2 days. Career best performances from everyone. I need this film injected in me
Sabrina Harrison lovedSentimental ValueBeautifully done film. Unique story and loved the ending. Cant wait for this to hit theatres. P.s. before anyone else says it, main actress looks just like natalie Portman!

8/10. Fun to see a Swedish/Norwegian movie. Stellan as always was awesome. The story felt easy but also deep enough to delve into to.
Hmamyf lovedSentimental ValueThe way Joachim Trier can always encapsulate loneliness…. man What a movie.

A story about home, inheritance, and fiction’s ability to reveal truths capable of bringing alienated individuals together, it’s a tumultuous, moving triumph.

It’s a tall task to follow up a smash like “The Worst Person in the World,” but “Sentimental Value” rises to the occasion: Mature, sharp, bittersweet and maybe even a little hopeful.

Though Sentimental Value is about the use of art as a tool for communication, it’s not so trite a movie to say that art heals all wounds. But it’s also not a cynical film. Once again, Trier defies convention by finding grace that is so profound it can be walloping.
