Sentimental Value

Affeksjonsverdi

Joachim Trier’s follow-up to The Worst Person in the World is a nuanced family drama evoking classic world cinema.

When sisters Nora (Renate Reinsve) and Agnes’s (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas) estranged father, filmmaker Gustav (Stellan Skarsgård), returns for their mother’s funeral, old wounds resurface. His attempt to cast Nora in a personal film sparks tensions that deepen when he replaces her with a young Hollywood star (Elle Fanning).
