Review: ‘Sentimental Value’ Delivers One of the Year’s Most Tender Family Dramas

Sentimental Value is a quietly devastating exploration of what happens when art, memory, and regret collide. Joachim Trier crafts one of his most intimate films yet, following a once-famous father trying to reconnect with the daughters he left behind in pursuit of his craft. The performances—from Stellan Skarsgård to Renate Reinsve—are layered with quiet emotion, while the film’s delicate cinematography mirrors the fragility of its characters. Trier refuses easy answers; instead, he offers a tender, deeply human portrait of how families fracture, heal, and ultimately rediscover one another. It’s a masterpiece that lingers long after the credits roll.
