The film’s multi-layered structure supports a familiar but often profoundly affecting tale of intergenerational family conflict.

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.

The Cairo Scene

The writing is devastating. ‘Sentimental Value’ is a film about the redemptive power of storytelling. It explores how the act of making cinema can be a form of healing.

ScreenAnarchy

A quiet homage to art, as both an existential necessity and a thinly veiled therapy.

Decider

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