"In the film, the patriarch of the Skarsgård acting clan (seven of his eight children, including Alexander, Bill, and Gustaf, have gone into the business) plays Gustav Borg, a director in the winter of his life trying to connect with his daughter (Renate Reinsve) by offering her the lead role in his new movie. Sentimental Value could earn him the first Oscar nomination of his six-decade career,"
"There's a subtle charm that hums whenever he's onscreen: Dad's having fun. He remains undiminished, even after he suffered a stroke three years ago, before he was set to shoot the second season of Andor and Dune: Part Two. "I feel a little more like I live under the sword now," he says. "Because I've lived a naughty life. And I'm 74, which is already on overtime.""

Skarsgård remains professionally active and charmed on screen. He suffered a stroke three years ago but continues working and reflects on his age and past life.
