Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) Jan 9
5/5
This is a film that sets out to make you feel things, but does it with seeming effortlessness, so you never feel like big moments are being signposted. Go to Full Review Danny Leigh Financial Times Dec 30
4/5
The tone is rich and sophisticated. Shadows of childhood tragedy and adult mis-steps fall across the drama. Sorrow is often in the air. This in no way sits oddly with a number of excellent jokes, including a doozy about Ikea. Go to Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald Dec 30
4/5
The story shapes up as a meditation on the sentimental value of art itself. Go to Full Review Manu Yáñez Fotogramas 4d
3/5
With this arsenal of ingredients, Trier constructs a solid film, perhaps even too solid. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Wesley Lovell Cinema Sight 6d

Complex family relationships built on years of distrust and recriminations characterize the length of Sentimental Value... Go to Full Review Will Bjarnar Geek Vibes Nation Mar 14
9.5/10
His sixth feature wrestles with devastation and hilarity as it maintains the ability to be broadly incisive and specifically crafted. It also exists as both an intimate story about family and a clever movie about filmmaking. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
