Sentimental Value - Kritiken

...another Scandinavian gem.

Few recent movies have reconciled the difference between those distant shores with the same tenderness that “Sentimental Value” achieves by the end of its soul-melting final sequence.

...considers how a home can be both a mirror and a custodian of its occupants’ pain.

...moving, sharp and quick-witted.

Stellan Skarsgård gives one of his best performances in this tremendous Oscar contender.

...is perhaps Joachim Trier’s most mature and emotionally complex work to date.

...is largely a performance and screenwriting feat, which means the film’s remarkable craft is likely to go underrated.

Here is an exuberant, garrulous, self-aware picture about an ageing and egomaniac film director and his two grownup daughters...

…a masterwork, with layers of human drama and frailty...

...exactly the kind of adult story to feed cinephiles the world over starving for substance in a sea of IP titles, half-baked remakes, and dour, minimalist offerings.

As with much of his previous work, Trier is masterful with delicate, humanist moments.

This Norwegian drama is another successful exploration of the human psyche from filmmaker Joachim Trier.

Det vore välförtjänt om Hollywood värmde Skarsgård med sin uppmärksamhet i form av en Oscar denna gång.

...ett extremt välspelat, snudd på episkt, familjedrama kring en far, några syskon och ett svek.
