Cannes 2025: A Storm of Applause for Joachim Trier’s 'Sentimental Value'
- Joachim Trier premiered his film 'Sentimental Value' on Wednesday at the Cannes Film Festival, receiving a 15-minute standing ovation.
- Trier developed the film around a quiet, fractured family in a wooden Oslo home, rehearsing the script at his kitchen table and emphasizing family woundedness and grief.
- The film stars actors playing an arty, supposedly sophisticated family who cannot communicate well, with the home itself serving as a distinctive character.
- Critics praised the film as 'exquisite,' 'gorgeous and gripping,' and noted its satisfying ending, while actress Fanning described it as very emotional and praised Trier's supportive direction.
- The standing ovation and positive reception suggest 'Sentimental Value' is a strong Palme d'Or contender that explores complex family dynamics with emotional depth.
