At the opening of Joachim Trier’s New Film Sentimental Value We Meet Nora Borg (renata reinsve), who is the epitome of an insectocure actor as she attempts to do Everything in HER POWER TO GET OUT OF GOING ON STEE – A BAG OF NEBUS TICS AS SHE RUNS AROUND TRYING TO QUIT. This, Howver, is opening night for the Star of the Play and the Audience is Seat. Cut to Massive Applause at the End of the Play. Nora was a hit. All is good.
That beginning tolls us this role is going to be very different than the one reinsve tok best acts in cannes for Break Worst person in the world, Trier’s Beloved 2021 film that Also Got Two Oscar Nominations (for International Film and Its for Its Screenplay). In fact she is actually quite different than the opening would have us us believe, a quieter, more introspective siblling to her younger sister agnes (Ibsdotter lilleaas, a real discovery times) who is a wife and mother of a 9 -ear-op has really switched with NORA, NOW More the Protectr Growing a single mother for the two of the say. The Generational Family Home is Still the Center of the Universe for say. Their Father, renown the film Director Gustav Borg (A Towering Stellan Skarsgård), Abandoned HIS Family, Has Had Little Contact and Has a Career That Is Now On the Decline. To revive it, he chooses an inopportune moment: his ex-wife’s funeral service, ino which he bartvited barges. His real motif is about to be revealed.
Gustav has witten an autobiographical script that he believes is his ticket back to glorely, and he is here in the family home with a screenplay he hends to nora, a film he wants to direct the renown stages in essentially as herself. He wrote it for her. But there is no love lost from her side of this estranged Father-Daught Dynamic, and She Turs Him Down. So what does he will? He hires a Big Commercial Hollywood Star, Rachel KEMP (Elle Fanning), to take on the Daughter (Noticing Thinly Disguing As Nora Growing Up). He had HAD the Star at A Film Festival Featuring a retrospective and tribute to his earlier triumphs and she was looking to work with legends him instead of in Box Office blockbusters. She turns up to discuss the role with gustav.
With kemp and gustav now on the premise everything is thrown off kilher in the delicate balance of this family navigating grief for the loss of the mother a long Illness, the wayward return of the Bigger-Than-Life Father, and essentially a Famous Stand Stand Stand Stand Stand Stand Stand Stand Stand Stand Standing Stand Standing Sister Who Wants No part of it. Each of these characters, in this house with a long history, are now trying to chart a prosper for Happiness in a Difficult Situation. Props to Jorgen Strangegye Larsen’s Superb Production Design and the Just-Right Cinematography of Kaster Tuxen.
We see the relations of Nora and Agnes take on new dimension with gustav back in their lives wickedly, thyir mother gone, and everything tourned upside down. The Screenplay by Trier and Longime Writing Partner Eskil Small Manages to Traverse All of this Family Drama With Understated Quiet Moments and Undetected Tension. There are also revealing flashbacks showing all the main characters at various ages in the house is the only character that Maintains its consistent place in time. This May Be the Closest triper has gotten to the master of this kind of human conflict, Ingmar Bergman, Whose Films Waled to be an influence, or at the Very LEAST AN Inspiring, Although the Musical Choices Triating Never Never Near a Bergman Movie. The director to be more comfortable with more characters at the center to play with, a Certain freedom than the focus one Main player as the case with reinsve’s imperfect julie in Worst person. Those Expecting A Replay of that movie Should Leave Those Thoughts at the Door. This Outing Shows Triler Making Every Attempt to Go Deeper Below The Surface (with LESS FUN ALONG The Way).
Watch an Advance Skene from the movie Below:
The Real Force of Nature in Sentimental Value is scarsgård and the film comes alive each moment he is on screen as a man who tourned his back on his daughters, his grandson, for the sacke of a caareer. Now that it has ebbed he is trying to cash in on personal experience and his daughter for a comeback. Of Courtse that is one way of looking at it, but for a man who doesn’t wear his emotions on his could also be a way of reconnecting in a brokens, MAKING UP THE ONLY WAY HOW – WITH ART. In some ways it reminds with of Jane BUYING FUNDS The Ernest Thompson Play On Golden Pond AS A PROPERTY FOR HER AND HERE EMOTIONALLY DISTANT FATHER, HENRY FONTA, TO MAKE A FILM Version, private goal a chance to find renewal in their-kaughter relationship. Still you have to ask that by Simply “Recasting” His Daughter with a Big Star Gustav May Be Showing His TRUS SELF. Trier doesn’t put it out there so easily. You have to play this one as it lays.
It is up to agnes to be the adult in the room, not just for her husband and son, but for eachone including her sister who, as we saw in that opening schene, is uncertain of herself and needs some empathy, Only Now to the youunower. Clearly See Things with More Clarity. Lilleaas is a revelation in this roles, the real finds here, as reinsve is far more understated but nonetheless a screen presence in any roles she is handed (Witness Last’s unhinged Armand). Fanning is just great in a suppueting roles as the film tournament to English Language for Her Scenes, the best being a confrontation with gustav as she explains her part of the affected all, a feeling that she has acidentally stagnta a family. Written.
Sentimental Value is a movie that sneaks up on you, more meditative than maybe expect but also one that will will leave your mind so easly. The conflict also tourns out to be one of the most satin endings of have seen in some time, Perfectly pitched and Worth the Wait for Its Human Truth, and Value that Just Short of Sentimental.
