* On the theatre site be sure to select the 2pm or 7pm showtime from the dropdown menu at the upper left of the page before proceeding.

 

Oscar nominee June Squibb (Thelma) stars in Scarlett Johansson’s thoughtful, provocative, and very funny feature directorial debut, about a nonagenarian who passes herself off as a Holocaust survivor.

 

After the loss of her lifelong best friend, 90-year-old Eleanor uproots her quiet life in Florida for a fresh start in New York City. Struggling to find her footing, she unexpectedly bonds with a college student, Nina, and tells a small lie that grows more complicated as their friendship deepens. Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut blends humour, heartbreak, and hope in a moving story about grief, reinvention, and the unlikely connections that help us heal. Anchored by a luminous performance from June Squibb, Eleanor the Great is a tender and funny reminder that it’s never too late to start over.

Director: Scarlett Johansson

SENTIMENTAL VALUE
February 23, 2026 - 7pm 

Winner: Grand Prix, Cannes (2025) 
Nominations: A record eight Golden Globe (2026) nominations (Best Drama, Director, Screenplay, plus acting nods for Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgård, Elle Fanning, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas) 

 

In Sentimental Value, Joachim Trier returns with a poignant, darkly comic portrait of fractured family ties and artistic ambition. A fading film director (Stellan Skarsgård) disrupts the lives of his estranged daughters when he returns to their childhood home with plans to shoot a deeply personal biopic. As old wounds resurface, Nora (Renate Reinsve), a celebrated actress battling anxiety, and Agnes, a steady but scarred mother, must confront the legacy of abandonment, art, and emotional manipulation.

 

The charismatic Gustav offers his daughter Nora, a gifted but troubled stage actress,  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 (Elle Fanning). 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.

 

Masterfully made, Sentimental Value is an intimate, moving, and often funny film about family, time, and how we sometimes need to rewrite the stories we tell about ourselves in order to survive.
