Sentimental Value

If you like watching people stare at each other quietly for two hours straight all for it to end in what I could only call an absolute gut wrenching feeling of how you have just wasted time you will never get back. This movie needs to be on 2x speed with subway surfers under it.

8.8 - This was quite raw & honest in every facet, from script to performances to sound & score.
Renate Reinsve & Stellan Skarsgard are the obvious power players, but their interactions with Elle Fanning & Inga Lilleaas carry a significant amount of the weight as well.

This is one that is sticking with me a lot more strongly than I anticipated after leaving the theater. As I watched I was waiting for the big moment & the hard hitting scene, something singular to justify all the chatter I’d heard about this wrecking its audiences emotionally, & while I’m not certain if there is one, all the layers come together beautifully to give that same punch.

It’s sad knowing that myself & so many others see their own experiences in stories like these, but for all the hurt in stories of strained family relationships like this, I believe there’s some hope as well that it can be healed.

i almost hug my father after this, lol

So very well casted and wonderfully made.

Film based on a dysfunctional family. Subtitles. The actors played their parts well, the supporting actress was fantastic and brought the story together

6.5/10 - I did find this a little boring at times but overall worth the watch
