Sentimental Value

Sisters Nora (Reinsve) and Agnes (Lilleaas) reunite with their estranged father, the charismatic Gustav (Skarsgård, in a remarkable performance), a once-renowned director who offers stage actress Nora a role in what he hopes will be his comeback film. When she declines, Gustav casts an up-and-coming young Hollywood star (Fanning) instead, forcing the family to confront long-buried tensions as the striving outsider becomes entangled in their fraught dynamic. With Sentimental Value, Danish-Norwegian auteur Joachim Trier follows his critically acclaimed The Worst Person in the World (2021) with a magnetic comedy-drama about legacy, art, and the performances that bind—and divide—families.
