Sentimental Value

So profoundly beautiful to me. I feel very personally towards this film, how Agnes and Nora both have depression, how differently it's shown. How it effects your attitudes towards your passions and how you almost grieve over it when someone, especially a parent, praises you for your talents. Like this was extremely relatable, for Gustav as a father to express to Nora and Agnes that they're the best thing to happen to him. Despite being estranged, how can you be so proud of something or someone, when you can't be there to appreciate it, to give your time. Fathers be like that sometime. I do think the dig at Netflix not releasing their films is quite funny. Films should be in the cinemas!!! I'm very disappointed that Sentimental Value hasn't gotten far more reception though. But at the end of the day, what I love most, is how writing, in it's most natural form, is put to the screen. And when in doubt, cinema is like a secret language to some but not all, when you can't put what you want to say into words but you give a message. That's what I found to be very tender between Nora and Gustav at the end. ❤️‍🩹
