From Getting Kicked Out to Oscar Contender: Renate Reinsve's Wild Rise

After scoring a BAFTA nomination and winning Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival for The Worst Person in the World, Renate Reinsve is rightfully zeroing in on her first Academy Award nomination for Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value.Reinsve leads the film, which is one of the year’s best, as stage actress Nora, the estranged daughter of acclaimed filmmaker Gustav Borg played by Stellan Skarsgård. When Gustav attempts to reconnect with Nora by offering her the lead role in his new film, she adamantly refuses, so Gustav turns to a Hollywood star instead, Elle Fanning as Rachel Kemp. Now Nora and her sister Agnes (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas) must navigate their complex family dynamic while their father focuses on what could be his comeback film after a 15-year hiatus.Yes, Reinsve delivers yet another staggeringly impressive performance that’s bound to pave the way to a significant awards season run, but as Reinsve explained while at the Collider Ladies Night studio, she didn’t always feel so widely embraced. In fact, much of her earlier years involved getting kicked out of places. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
