FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://talkingfilms.net/sentimental-value-review-joachim-triers-profound-meditation-on-art-grief-and-forgiveness/ "Sentimental Value is, ultimately, a mature and profoundly moving movie that resonates with the authorial mark of Joachim Trier. The film triumphs thanks to the strength of its narrative and the excellence of the four central performances. It's a meditation on inherited pain, the intricate cost of artistic creation, and the difficult, yet essential, path to forgiveness and reconciliation. The assured direction and the melancholic atmosphere consolidate Trier's position as one of the most skillful chroniclers of human fragility. It's a story that feels familiar, intimate, and, above all, reminds us that true sentimental value lies in the irreducible and, at times, painful bonds that define us." Rating: B+
