In a revealing and gently humorous interview, Stellan Skarsgård shares how his children reacted to Sentimental Value — a response he describes as loving the film “in eight different ways.” The phrase captures something deeply personal: approval that isn’t uniform, but honest.
Skarsgård reflects on the unique challenge of sharing work with family members who are also artists in their own right. Praise matters less than perspective. Each child responds through their own emotional and creative lens, offering interpretations rather than verdicts.
What emerges is a portrait of legacy without pressure. Creativity is not inherited as expectation, but as conversation. Sentimental Value becomes less a finished product and more a shared experience — one filtered through trust and mutual respect.
