Sentimental Value (2025)

Sold out at the Singapore International Film Festival 2025, Norwegian filmmaker Joachim Trier's (The Worst Person In The World, Oslo, August 31st) Grand Prix winning film Sentimental Value is a captivating journey through grief, family, and intergenerational trauma. Starring Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgård, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, and Elle Fanning, Sentimental Value explores the story of an ageing director seeking to reconnect with his estranged adult daughters while preparing for his comeback film in their family home. Set against this backdrop, this expansive, bittersweet family drama challenges audiences with questions such as what happens when you create personal art involving the people you know, or when the personal becomes public. Distributor's Note: “Rarely has a film come so fully and perfectly formed as Sentimental Value has. From the pitch-perfect ensemble cast, filled with characters you will recognise from your own lives, to a script which plumbs the tender recesses of the part in one's heart reserved for members of your own family - no matter how estranged - director Joachim Trier and his cast and writer deserve all the flowers they are receiving this awards season.” - Vincent Quek, founder of Anticipate Pictures.
