Robbie Collin

Daily Telegraph (UK)

It’s hardly a guilty pleasure movie, though its sheer pleasantness comes with a certain pang of conscience: should cinema this intelligent be this much fun to watch?

Rated: 5/5

Elle

A heart-swelling and unexpectedly humor-filled tale that will break you before it makes you whole again. You will leave the movie with a newfound gratitude for all that cinema can do.

Justin Chang

The New Yorker

“Sentimental Value” telegraphs its emotional developments a bit too predictably for my taste. It isn’t quite Trier’s best film, which is to say, it isn’t “The Worst.”

Decider

Bittersweet, self-reflexive cinema that reveals an immensely powerful portrait of anguish, and of re-building one’s sense of self.

Doug Jamieson

The Jam Report

Unfolding with delicacy, humour, and moments of aching intensity, 'Sentimental Value' proves that deeply personal stories can still feel universal when told with this much clarity and care.

Rated: 5/5

Movies We Texted About

Director Joachim Trier has a real talent for pulling out the emotional subtexts of ordinary lives and figuring out why people make the choices we do, even if we’ve forgotten.
