Overview
- Now in theaters with a 133‑minute runtime, the Norway–France–Denmark–Germany production stars Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgård, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas and Elle Fanning.
- The story centers on two sisters and their largely absent filmmaker father who returns to shoot in the family home, with a Hollywood actress emerging as a potential lead after the daughter declines.
- Reviews highlight a film‑within‑a‑film structure, the house treated as a character, layered timelines and themes of inherited trauma, drawing frequent comparisons to Bergman.
- The film won Cannes’ Grand Prix, and multiple outlets predict 2026 Oscar contention, including Best International Feature and possibly the main Best Picture race.
- Coverage notes that platform backing helped secure production after Fanning’s involvement, while interviews quote Skarsgård on balancing art and family and Fanning on resisting industry typecasting.
