Sentimental Value

Sentimental Value is a dramatic film directed by Joachim Trier, who presents a fractured relationship between a father and his two daughters. Throughout the film, we gradually immerse ourselves in their lives and discover the reasons behind their thoughts. A masterpiece and one of my favorite screenplays of the year for its emotional depth and its ability to convey all those feelings through dialogue that never overexplains. The performances by Stellan Skarsgård, Renate Reinsve, and Inga Ibsdotter were sublime and perfectly reflected what the film wanted to express. They moved me deeply, and for that and so much more, I consider this the best film I have seen in 2025. Simply perfect from every angle. 97/100
