Finally got around to this earlier this week (and great review). It’s my favorite of the year, and it really reminded me of his English language debut, Louder Than Bombs. Except in Louder than Bombs, the two brothers and the father all are emotionally unavailable for each other, which is compelling in its own way, but doesn’t have the engine of the sister relationship in Sentimental Value…
Renate can’t communicate well, or doesn’t want to, but her Inga is able to see through her more.
I FINALLY caught it this evening. Wowsers, I wasn't expecting it to be that powerful. Your review captures it so well.
I was also wondering if this was a nod to Bergmann, especially with one of the shots where the three of them kept dissolving into the same face.
So glad you finally got to see it!!! Wow, that is a great shout with Bergmann, I didn't even think of that! Thank you for the kind words, Lloyd!

I'm scheduled to see this one tonight. Can't wait!
Excited to hear your thoughts!!!
This releasing the same weekend as Die My Love….the season truly has begun.
