Sentimental Value

Stuck between a 4 and a 4.5 but im going with the latter because Stellan Skarsgård. This movie reminded me of Aftersun in how personal it is, and how much introspection (especially regarding family) is involved. The movie ending is absolutely fantastic. The shot of Gustavs and Noras faces overlapping really reminded me of Bergmans Persona and I assume its meant to hint that they share much of the same trauma and experiences as both had an absent parent in one way or another. This is why Gustav knew about Noras suicide attempt, hes also likely contemplated or attempted it before. The final scene shows how Gustav really begins to understand Nora and their similarities on a super deep level. Also the acting was super super immersive.
