Our take
Sisters reunite with their estranged filmmaker father in Joachim Trier's Norwegian drama. Rated M for brief nudity, sexual references and language. Dialogue references a past suicide, therapy, drunk phone calls and sharp family arguments. An adult arthouse drama for older teens, not a light family watch.
Uplifting themes
Honesty and reconciliation are attempted amid painful history
Story (may spoil tone)
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.
