Our editor, Phil Roberts, saw the film at the BFI London Film Festival and had this to say about it:
Joachim Trier’s #SentimentalValue is a compelling piece of cinema. An estranged family’s turmoil plays out in gloriously intimate fashion with perfectly weighted, poignant performances from Stellan Skarsgård & Renate Reinsve.
Often silently heartbreaking, it’s a triumph. #LFF
THE CAST AND THE FILM’S PREMISE
The poignant exploration of family, memories, and the reconciliatory power of art, the film stars Academy Award and BAFTA-nominee Renate Reinsve (The Worst Person in the World, A Different Man). In addition, the cast includes Academy Award nominee, BAFTA and Golden Globe winner Stellan Skarsgard (Dune: Part One & Two, Hope). The main cast also features Academy Award, Golden Globe and Emmy-nominee Elle Fanning (A Complete Unknown, All The Bright Places). There is also a breakout Academy Award- and BAFTA-nominated star, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas (A Beautiful Life, In Oversized Men’s Shirts). Anders Danielsen Lie (The Worst Person in the World, Personal Shopper) appears as well. The film is directed and co-written by Joachim Trier. Furthermore, he collaborates with longtime writing partner and Academy Award nominee Eskil Vogt (The Innocents, The Worst Person in the World).
Reinsve plays Nora, a successful stage actress who, along with her sister Agnes (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas), reunites with their estranged father Gustav Borg (Skarsgård) – a once-renowned film director planning a major comeback with a script based on his family. When Gustav offers Nora the lead role, which she promptly declines, he turns his attention to Rachel Kemp (Fanning), an eager young Hollywood starlet primed for her big breakthrough. With their fraught dynamics made even more complex, Nora, Agnes and Gustav are each forced to confront their difficult pasts.
