Oxnard Film Society Presents "Sentimal Value" [Norway]

NOTE: Start the New Year with a great film and a bit of food and conversation after.

Another in the foreign film series, this one from Norway [in Norwegian, French, and English]. It has been rated by Rotten Tomatoes: 96%/94% [Critics/Audiences]. It is rated R.

The Rotten Tomatoes critics consensus: Deftly exploring the uneasy tension between artistic expression and personal connection, Sentimental Value is a bracingly mature work from writer-director Joachim Trier that's marvelously acted across the board.

Official submission of Norway for the 'Best International Feature Film' category of the 98th Academy Awards in 2026.

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. Suddenly, the two sisters must navigate their complicated relationship with their father — and deal with an American star dropped right into the middle of their complex family dynamics.

Trailer for Sentimental Value

All of our events are intended to have a strong social component, something sitting together in a dark theater reading subtitles doesn't provide. So when you get to the theater, just buy your ticket and enter. After these OFS movies, interested movie goers gather at Pacifico's Sushi Mex (on leaving the theater, follow the building to the left). It wouldn't necessarily be my first choice of restaurant, but it does have a Happy Hour and cerveza.

Please enter theater by 3:15 for seating as these films can sell out. Tickets are $9.25 [$8.50 senior].
