Critics Consensus

Deftly exploring the uneasy tension between artistic expression and personal connection, Sentimental Value is a bracingly mature work from writer-director Joachim Trier that's marvelously acted across the board.

5/5

This is a film that sets out to make you feel things, but does it with seeming effortlessness, so you never feel like big moments are being signposted.

4/5

The tone is rich and sophisticated. Shadows of childhood tragedy and adult mis-steps fall across the drama. Sorrow is often in the air. This in no way sits oddly with a number of excellent jokes, including a doozy about Ikea.

The story shapes up as a meditation on the sentimental value of art itself.

This is ultimately a rich, engrossing, deeply moving tale of what happens when family becomes fodder for art.
