Wokeness

2/10

Minimal

A couple of light references, nothing that drives the story.

Audience

No ratings

In "Sentimental Value," fleeting 1960s flashbacks inject mild LGBT titillation via passionate lesbian kisses at libertine parties, while a soliloquy blasts clerical betrayal with fiery anti-Western undertones, but these woke whispers barely overshadow the film's nostalgic, family-centered narrative.

What earned the score

  • Passionate Lesbian Kisses Flashback

    In flashbacks depicting the history of the Borg family home across four generations, the film shows 1960s libertine parties featuring passionate lesbian kisses.

  • Anti-Clerical Betrayal Soliloquy

    During Nora's stage performance in a play, she delivers a soliloquy that rails against a clerical figure for betrayal, culminating in imagery of flames.

Details

Sisters Nora and Agnes reunite with their estranged father, the charismatic Gustav, a once-renowned director who offers stage actress Nora a role in what he hopes will be his comeback film. When Nora turns it down, she soon discovers he has given her part to an eager young Hollywood star.
