‘Sentimental Value’ Review: Joachim Trier’s Bergmanesque Family Drama Is A Sister Act With Wonderful Renate Reinsve (But Stellan Skarsgård Steals It) – Cannes Film Festival
A review of Joachim Trier's latest installment of his Oslo Trilogy Sentimental Value, with Renate Reinsve and Stellan Skarsgard at odds.
At the opening of Joachim Trier’s new film Sentimental Value we meet Nora Borg ( Renata Reinsve), who is the epitome of an insecure actor as she attempts to do everything in her power to get out of going on stage — a bag of nervous tics as she runs around trying to quit. Gustav has written an autobiographical script that he believes is his ticket back to glory, and he is here in the family home with a screenplay he hands to Nora, a film he wants to direct the renowned stage actress in essentially as herself. With Kemp and Gustav now on the premises everything is thrown off kilter in the delicate balance of this family still navigating grief for the loss of the mother after a long illness, the wayward return of the bigger-than-life father, and essentially a famous movie star standing in for one sister who wants no part of it.
