In Sentimental Value, Joachim Trier returns with a poignant, darkly comic portrait of fractured family ties and artistic ambition. A fading film director (Stellan Skarsgård) disrupts the lives of his estranged daughters when he returns to their childhood home with plans to shoot a deeply personal biopic. An intimate, moving, and often funny film about family, time, and how we sometimes need to rewrite the stories we tell about ourselves to survive.

Winner of the Grand Prix award at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.

Without delving into Hallmark-style sentimentality, Sentimental Value captures the unique pain a father can inflict on his children—but also the profound opportunity he has to facilitate reconciliation and healing before it’s too late.   Brett McCracken – The Gospel Coalition

Sentimental Value feels like an intimate act birthed from both stage (think Ibsen and Chekhov) and screen (think Ingmar Bergman and Woody Allen)….Matt Brunson – Film Frenzy
