60 of 246 · most liked firstWatched A SENTIMENTAL VALUE. At first blush, THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD affected me a bit more (probably bc it resonated), but I think the new movie is one I'll return to down the road and love more and more. All 3 leads were incredible. Skarsgard's performance in the final scene--whew.

neutral · AI labelView post →ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is a great movie. SINNERS is a great movie. MARTY SUPREME is a great movie. SENTIMENTAL VALUE is a great movie. FRANKENSTEIN is a great movie. The only competition in art is the one we the audience make. The artists aren’t. They just make art. Something to consider.
positive · AI labelView post →Sentimental Value is a great film by the director of another movie I liked a lot, The Worst Person in the World. Made me cry, despite being a rough & tumble kinda guy who is not in touch with his emotions and sullenly chops wood every morning to maintain some distant contact with society at large.

neutral · AI labelView post →SENTIMENTAL VALUE: An estranged father tries desperately to reconnect with his daughters but can only do it through cinema and artifice. Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgård, and Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas are tremendous. A subtle, delicate, beautiful film.
positive · AI labelView post →It's official: "Sinners" is the Best Film of 2025 as far as the Boston Society of Film Critics is concerned. "Sentimental Value" and "One Battle After Another" had plenty of votes, but Coogler's Delta masterpiece had plentier. #bsfc @bsfc.bsky.social

positive · AI labelView post →SENTIMENTAL VALUE (Joachim Trier, 2025). What a beautiful, layered, deeply moving film this is! So much is left unsaid (or simply not shown) in Trier’s portrayal of the complex relationships between a film director father & his two adult daughters. I hope it picks up some awards this year. #FilmSky

positive · AI labelView post →Know it was an expectation that she'd be nominated, but I almost feel like Renate Reinsve's performance in "Sentimental Value" has gone relatively under-appreciated as people celebrate the other ones from the movie. She brings something really special to it.
neutral · AI labelView post →Absolutely love Joachim Trier’s “Sentimental Value.” A soul-stirring dramedy—despondent and soothing—about an estranged father (Stellan Skarsgård) trying to cast his daughter (Renate Reinsve) in his latest film.

neutral · AI labelView post →1. Sentimental Value -- It wasn’t close. Probably my favorite movie of the last five years. The movie feels so personal but the story is universal. Joachim Trier is a visionary. Renate Reinsve and I should be best friends. Just a perfect movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Sentimental Value is just straight up one of the best movies of the year. My goodness. Just an unbelievable film. It takes like 30 minutes to totally recognize what Trier is doing but once you let it wash over you, it's just wonderful. letterboxd.com/samvecenie/f...
