Sentimental Value

Sentimental Value

Winner of the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film. Nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.

LIFE IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE CAMERAS STOP.

Following the death of their mother, estranged sisters Nora and Agnes are forced into an uneasy reunion with their father, Gustav—a legendary, egomaniacal film director whose career has long since eclipsed his parenting. When Gustav proposes a new project inspired by their family’s darkest secrets, the sisters must decide if they are willing to be his muses one last time.

Reuniting with his Worst Person in the World star Renate Reinsve, Joachim Trier delivers a sprawling, vibrant, and devastatingly funny portrait of family as a performance. A meta-cinematic masterpiece that navigates the thin line between healing and exploitation, Sentimental Value explores how we inherit the ghosts of our parents—and how art is often the only language we have to speak to the people we love.

Winner of the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film, a BAFTA and six European Film Awards, Sentimental Value was, most importantly, one of your highest-rated films in our 2025 Year in Review.
