MUBI, the global distributor, streaming service and production company, is proud to announce that Sentimental Value, the highly anticipated new film from Academy Award®-nominee Joachim Trier (The Worst Person in the World, Oslo, August 31st), will be released in cinemas across the UK and Ireland on 26 December 2025.
To mark the announcement, MUBI have released the UK trailer and three brand new stills. The film will receive its UK premiere at the BFI London Film Festival on 12 October 2025. The film was recently selected as Norway’s submission for the 2026 Academy Awards®.
The poignant exploration of family, memories, and the reconciliatory power of art, the film stars BAFTA-nominee Renate Reinsve (The Worst Person in the World, A Different Man), BAFTA and Golden Globe-nominee Stellan Skarsgård (Dune: Part One & Two, Hope), Golden Globe and EMMY-nominee Elle Fanning (A Complete Unknown, All The Bright Places), breakout star Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas (A Beautiful Life, In Oversized Men’s Shirts), and Anders Danielsen Lie (The Worst Person in the World, Personal Shopper). The film is directed and co-written by Joachim Trier, and longtime collaborator and Oscar nominee Eskil Vogt (The Innocents, The Worst Person in the World).
Check out some images here:
Reinsve plays Nora, a successful stage actress who, along with her sister Agnes (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas), reunites with their estranged father Gustav Borg (Skarsgård) – a once-renowned film director planning a major comeback with a script based on his family. When Gustav offers Nora the lead role, which she promptly declines, he turns his attention to Rachel Kemp (Fanning), an eager young Hollywood starlet primed for her big breakthrough. With their fraught dynamics made even more complex, Nora, Agnes and Gustav are each forced to confront their difficult pasts.
Following Trier’s tender, sharply funny and critically acclaimed The Worst Person in the World, which earned Renate Reinsve the Best Actress Award at Cannes in 2021, Sentimental Value received its World Premiere in the Main Competition at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.
The film received widespread acclaim and was awarded the Grand Prix, cementing Trier’s reputation as one of contemporary cinema’s most distinctive voices.
The film is produced by Maria Ekerhovd for Mer Film and Andrea Berentsen Ottmar for Eye Eye Pictures in Norway. As a Norwegian, French, German, Danish, and Swedish co-production, the co-producers are Nathanael Karmitz for MK Productions and Juliette Schrameck for Lumen Production in France; Janine Jackowski and Jonas Dornbach for Komplizen Film in Germany; Sisse Graum Jørgensen for Zentropa in Denmark and Lizette Jonjic for Zentropa Sweden, as well as Film i Väst, Oslo Filmfond and Mediefondet Zefyr. The film is also backed by BBC Film in the UK, with Eva Yates as executive producer. As well as Alas Film and Storyline.
Sentimental Value is financed with the support of several esteemed institutions, including the Norwegian Film Institute, the Swedish Film Institute, the Danish Film Institute, the French National Center of Cinema Film (CNC), Arte Grand Accord, Medienboard Berlin Brandenburg, FFA, Eurimages, Région Normandie and Nordisk Film og TV-fond.
As of today, the film is screening in 800 cinemas and has generated 360K admissions at the French box office in just three weeks, surpassing the 221K lifetime admissions for The Worst Person in the World. This past weekend, the film was announced as the first-runner up for TIFF’s inaugural International People’s Choice awards.
SENTIMENTAL VALUE WILL BE RELEASED IN UK & IRISH CINEMAS ON 26 DECEMBER 2025
