A film director who hasn’t shot anything in a long time returns to Oslo, where his ex-wife has just died, where his two adult daughters live, where the house he once bought for his family stands. The daughters tend to despise him, but the difficult reunion with them suddenly inspires the hero to return to work. He wants to cast one of his daughters in the lead role, but a real American star suddenly appears on the horizon.

Shot from Sentimental Value, 2025

Trier’s film overflows with the kind of genuinely impactful potential that we go to the movies for.

— Coleman Spilde, Salon.com

Joachim Trier has always been able to bring the hidden emotional turmoil of modern life to the surface. But he has never done it as elegantly and convincingly as in Sentimental Value, which is included in almost every list of the best films of 2025.
