The Norwegian film by Joachim Trier tells the story of aging director Gustav Borg, played by Stellan Skarsgard, whose tumultuous relationships with his two daughters come to the forefront after their mother's passing. The film intricately weaves themes of anxiety, abandonment, and the shadow of a catastrophic childhood. As Nora deals with her career and personal crises, Agnes reflects on her childhood experiences and feeling of neglect. The attempt to repurpose their family home for a biopic exacerbates the existing family tensions, blending humor and emotional resonance.
"Gustav's daughter Nora, a famous stage actor suffering anxiety attacks, seeks a slap from her married co-star to regain her composure amidst familial tensions."
"The film examines deep-seated daddy issues and the complexities of family relationships through the lens of a fading auteur's dramatic life."
