An in depth review, synopsis, and analysis of Sentimental Value (2025), winner of the Grand Prix at Cannes 2025! I gave it 5 stars and found it deeply moving and honest. In this episode I discuss the themes of generational trauma, abandonment, and sisterhood, and I analyze the techniques Joachim Trier uses to explore them.
