SENTIMENTAL VALUE (Norwegian: Affeksjonsverdi) is a 2025 Norwegian comedy-drama film directed by Joachim Trier, who co-wrote the screenplay with Eskil Vogt. The film had its world premiere at the main competition of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival on May 21st, where it received widespread acclaim and won the Grand Prix.
Sisters Nora and Agnes reunite with their estranged father, the charismatic Gustav, a once-renowned director who offers stage actress Nora a role in what he hopes will be his comeback film. When Nora turns it down, she soon discovers he has given her part to an eager young Hollywood star. Suddenly, the two sisters must navigate their complicated relationship with their father — and deal with an American star dropped right into the middle of their complex family dynamics.
The cast includes Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgård, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, Elle Fanning, Cory Michael Smith, and Anders Danielsen Lie.
