Thursday, December 11, thru Sunday, December 14: Cinema Worcester at the Frontroom Presents “Sentimental Value”

Cinema Worcester in conjunction with the WCUW Frontroom presents “Sentimental Value”, a film by Joachim Trier.

The 2025 Cannes Grand Prix winner is nominated for best European film, best screenplay and best director, with further best actor and best actress nominations for Stellan Skarsgård and Renate Reinsve.

Deftly exploring the uneasy tension between artistic expression and personal connection, Sentimental Value is a bracingly mature work from writer-director Joachim Trier that’s marvelously acted across the board.

Sisters Nora and Agnes reunite with their estranged father, the charismatic Gustav, a once-renowned director who offers stage actress Nora a role in what he hopes will be his comeback film. When Nora turns it down, she soon discovers he has given her part to an eager young Hollywood star. Suddenly, the two sisters must navigate their complicated relationship with their father — and deal with an American star dropped right into the middle of their complex family dynamics.

Run time is 2 hours and 13 minutes. R (Some language | Brief nudity | Sexual reference).

Showtimes: Thursday, December 11, 7 pm; Friday, December 12, 7 pm; Saturday December 13, 1 pm; and Sunday, December 14, 1 pm.

Tickets $13.58 general admission, $11.44 senior/student with ID, $10.38 for WCUW members (processing fees included). Purchase tickets online.

The WCUW Frontroom is located at 910 Main St., Worcester MA. Parking in the Clark University lot across the street, or on the street.

Thursday, December 18: Cinema Worcester at the Frontroom Presents “Black Christmas (1974)”

Cinema Worcester in conjunction with the WCUW Frontroom presents “Black Christmas (1974)”, a film by Bob Clark. Dan Ducas returns with this classic 70s slasher! And he brought along some extra fun stuff!

As winter break begins, a group of sorority sisters, including Jess (Olivia Hussey) and the often inebriated Barb (Margot Kidder), begin to receive anonymous, lascivious phone calls.

Initially, Barb eggs the caller on, but stops when he responds threateningly. Soon, Barb’s friend Clare (Lynne Griffin) goes missing from the sorority house, and a local adolescent girl is murdered, leading the girls to suspect a serial killer is on the loose. But no one realizes just how near the culprit is.

Run time is 1 hour and 38 minutes. R (Disturbing images | Horror violence | Language that includes sexual references).

Showtime: Thursday, December 18, 7 pm.

Tickets $13.58 general admission, $11.44 senior/student with ID, $10.38 for WCUW members (processing fees included). Purchase tickets online.

The WCUW Frontroom is located at 910 Main St., Worcester MA. Parking in the Clark University lot across the street, or on the street.
