Sentimental Value
“It’s a movie that sneaks up on you like great fiction, blending theme and character in a way that allows it to live in your mind after you see it, rolling around what it means to both the people in it and your own life.” – RogerEbert.com
“It’s hardly a guilty pleasure movie, though its sheer pleasantness comes with a certain pang of conscience: should cinema this intelligent be this much fun to watch?” – Daily Telegraph (UK)
“Sentimental Value is about art and history and emotional openness, but it’s more than anything a playful but also wondrously frank exploration of what it actually means to be family.” – New York Magazine / Vulture
“A heart-swelling and unexpectedly humor-filled tale that will break you before it makes you whole again. You will leave the movie with a newfound gratitude for all that cinema can do.” – Elle
