Sentimental Value

Opens November 21

Grand Prix Winner at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival

In director Joachim Trier’s follow-up to The Worst Person in the World, sisters Nora (Renate Reinsve) and Agnes (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas) reunite with their estranged father, the charismatic Gustav (Stellan Skarsgård; Dune), a once-renowned director who offers stage actress Nora a role in what he hopes will be his comeback film. When Nora turns it down, she soon discovers he has given her part away to an eager young Hollywood star (Elle Fanning, A Complete Unknown). Suddenly, the two sisters must navigate their complicated relationship with their father—and deal with an American star dropped right into the middle of their complex family dynamics.

"Renate Reinsve and Stellan Skarsgård bring incredible tenderness to a story that is ultimately about what children and parents never say to one another."
Tim Grierson, Screen International
"Sentimental Value is about art and history and emotional openness, but it’s more than anything a playful but also wondrously frank exploration of what it actually means to be family."
Alison Willmore, Vulture
