Sentimental Value

After the worldwide critical success of The Worst Person in the World (2021) writer/director Joachim Trier and actress Renate Reinsve reunite for another intense family drama. Nora (Reinsve), a stage actress, refuses a role in a very personal film her long-absent father (Stellan Skarsgård), a once-renowned filmmaker, wants to make about her late mother. He gives the role to a young American actress (Elle Fanning) instead and inserts her into his family’s already complicated dynamics. Sentimental Value won the Grand Prix at Cannes and is Norway’s entry for Best International Film at the 2026 Academy Awards.
