Norwegian director Joachim Trier (The Worst Person in the World) hits a new high watermark with this layered family drama about a father trying to reconnect with his grown daughters.

In it, Stellan Skarsgård portrays a film director who so prioritized his career that he walked out on his wife while his daughters, Nora and Agnes, were still young. Years later, when their mother passes, he shows up once again. With a screenplay in hand, he tells them he wants to shoot a new film in the house where they grew up, and he would love for Nora (Renate Reinsve) to take the lead role. Unready to forgive her father, she turns it down, only to watch him later giving the part to an eager young Hollywood star (Elle Fanning). With the American actress dropped right into the middle of their complex family dynamics, the two sisters must navigate the aftermath of their mother’s death and their complicated relationship with their father.

Reinsve is wonderful, recalling the laid-back, lived-in, modern allure of Diane Keaton during Woody Allen’s peak years, and the combination of her performance with Skarsgård’s fills the movie with soul. As nuanced as it is empathetic, this is a story that sneaks up on you like great fiction, makes you feel you’ve lived a life with its characters, and rolls around in your head long after you’ve seen it.
