Movie afterthought...or feeling

SentimentalValue spoiler alert

I watched this last month.  I like it very very much!  The theme of the movie is about movie making.  This is kind of a slow movie.  But director brilliantly mixed present and flash backs, keeps it interesting.  And I saw a comment online saying the flashback was actually narrated by the house itself, i thought it made senses.  

I only saw two actors before, one is ElleFanning, the other is StellanSkarsgard.  I love them both, espeically ElleFanning, a tremendous Actor.  I like her performance here so much.  Her role was really out of place in the whole movie, the shining American movie star.  And one of the most memorable section of the movie was the comparison of her acting for a scene and RenateReinsve's acting on the exact same scene in a script.  

I was going to watch TW's 左撇子女孩，but it was so raw that scared me a little.  I had so much apprehension about the ending that I switched to SentimentalValue.  The basic difference between the two I think was really the sound and music.  

The photography of SV was just beautiful.   The conflict between daughter and father, the love between the sisters.  Both Stellan and Elle's vulnerability in the movie was also palpable, especially when the characters were forcing to make the movie, when both them, especially  the director, know it's now working.  I feel as an audience we can just see it, without any commentary.  Palpable is a good word to describe the scene.  

The movie's story was really quite interesting, when you think about it.  I like Stuckman's word to describe this movie, personal.  A father wanted his daughter to play a part of his own memory from his youth.  But he did not know that his daughter actually had a similar experience.  Once that was revealed, it really packed a punch.
