Sentimental Value is a quietly powerful film carried by exceptional performances and restrained filmmaking. Through desaturated visuals and impeccable acting, Joachim Trier explores family trauma and healing with honesty, patience, and remarkable sensitivity.
After The Hunt is a psychological drama that tackles heavy themes but struggles to translate them into meaningful progression. While the cast keeps the film watchable, uneven performances, awkward stylistic choices, and a lack of evolution make it feel like a movie constantly reaching for depth without ever fully earning it.
