Joachim Trier’s Cannes Grand Prix Winner ‘Sentimental Value’ Releases Trailer

Joachim Trier’s latest film, "Sentimental Value," starring Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgård, and Elle Fanning, won the Grand Prix at Cannes and has garnered critical acclaim for its layered family drama centered on identity, relationships, and generational tension. The film follows sisters Nora and Agnes as they reunite with their estranged father, Gustav, a once-renowned director who offers Nora a role in his comeback film, which she declines, leading to an American star taking the part and complicating family dynamics. Critics have praised the film’s rich dialogue and emotional depth, with Reinsve’s performance receiving significant awards buzz alongside Fanning’s portrayal of the disruptive young star. Neon, set to release the film on November 7, is positioning it as a strong contender for Best Picture and Best Actress awards, following Trier and Reinsve’s previous success with "The Worst Person in the World." The film’s screenplay, co-written by Trier and frequent collaborator Eskil Vogt, has been noted for its engaging, naturalistic conversations that explore nuanced family trauma. "Sentimental Value" had a strong reception at Cannes, including lengthy standing ovations, and is expected to expand its theatrical release around Thanksgiving.
