Directed by Joachim Trier, 2025, Norway/France/Germany, Rated R, 133 minutes

A renowned filmmaker (Stellan Skarsgård) invites his estranged daughters (Renate Reinsve and Thea Lamb) to collaborate on what might be his final project. As rehearsals blend with real-life wounds, the family must navigate past resentments and creative entanglements. Set against the backdrop of Norwegian summer and shot in Trier’s signature lyrical style, the film is a meditation on legacy, forgiveness, and the fragility of memory. Sentimental Value led the 2025 European Film Awards with five nominations, including Best Film and Best Actor. RogerEbert.com called it “subtle emotional momentum building to a final beat so powerful it doesn’t need any dialogue.”
