AroView: A quietly stunning exploration of family, memories, and the reconciliatory power of art that reunites the Norwegian director and star of The Worst Person in the World, Joachim Trier and Renate Reinsve.
Reinsve returns in a very different role as a stage actress aggrieved by her relationship with her neglectful father (Stellan Skarsgard), an entitled film-maker who has returned home with an unwelcome proposition to cast her in a film based on his own troubled mother.
Absorbing and satisfying in a way that only the best dramas are, with delicate insight into the creative process that draws on the drama of real lives, the film is itself a testament to its thesis about what it takes to make art that is both true to the artists and those that inspire it. ★★★★★
“A subtle yet sweeping tapestry of art, family and connection that takes the breath away.” ~Chase Hutchinson, TheWrap
“Trier captures so much while saying so little and, in many ways, Sentimental Value feels like the film he’s been building toward his entire career.” ~Graeme Guttmann, Screen Rant
“Uncommonly rich in emotional rewards…” ~David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
