The Sentimentalists follows a daughter attempting to discover the truth about the life of her father, a dying Vietnam veteran haunted by his wartime experiences . . .
Poetically lyrical, powerful, and assured, The Sentimentalists is a tale about emotional distance brought on by trauma, and the confusion that both begets and grows out of betrayal while also exploring what lies beneath the surface of everyday life, and the commanding power of the past.
"A hypnotic meditation on memory, it reaffirms the potential for storytelling to offer clarity and redemption." -- New York Times
