Sentimental Value (2025)

AKA: Affeksjonsverdi

A strained relationship between a famed director (Stellan Skarsgård) and his daughter (Renate Reinsve) comes a head when he casts a young Hollywood starlet (Elle Fanning) to portray her in his new film. Explores the relationship between artistic expression and intergenerational trauma. I found it a bit too clean cut for my liking, but the performances and the sentiment are top notch.
