Sentimental Value
Thursday 3 September 2026, 7:30pm
- Starring: Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgård, Elle Fanning
- Director: Joachim Trier
- 135 mins
- Cert: 15
Directed by Joachim Trier, Sentimental Value follows successful stage actress Nora (Renate Reinsve) and her sister Agnes as they reunite with their estranged father, Gustav, a once-renowned film director. Following their mother’s death, Gustav returns to the family’s ancestral home in Oslo, hoping to reclaim his former glory by directing a deeply personal comeback film. When Nora declines the lead role, Gustav casts an eager young Hollywood starlet instead. This forces the sisters to navigate their complicated family dynamics while confronting generational trauma and the uneasy tension between artistic expression and personal connection.

The Christophers (2025) is directed by Steven Soderbergh and written by Ed Solomon, starring Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel. Julian Sklar is a well-known painter based in London, elderly and eccentric, whose reputation has faded with age. His estranged children hire a skilled art forger to complete an abandoned series of paintings so they can sell them for profit once he dies. A sharp, character-driven black comedy blending art, family dysfunction, and deception, anchored by a standout McKellen performance.
