Lets Watch Stories We Tell In this inspired, genre-twisting new film, Oscar (R)-nominated writer/director Sarah Polley discovers that the truth depends on who's telling it. Polley is both filmmaker and detective as she investigates the secrets kept by a family of storytellers. She playfully interviews and interrogates a cast of characters of varying reliability, eliciting refreshingly candid, yet mostly contradictory, answers to the same questions. As each relates their version of the family mythology, present-day recollections shift into nostalgia-tinged glimpses of their mother, who departed too soon, leaving a trail of unanswered questions. Polley unravels the paradoxes to reveal the essence of family: always complicated, warmly messy and fiercely loving. Stories We Tell explores the elusive nature of truth and memory, but at its core is a deeply personal film about how our narratives shape and define us as individuals and families, all interconnecting to paint a profound, funny and poignant picture of the larger human story.

Review For Stories We Tell
Stories We Tell is not just very moving; it is an exploration of truth and fiction that will stay with you long after repeated viewings. David Thomson-The New Republic Part of the movie's pleasure is how comfortable the "storytellers" are with their director; you get a sense of a complicated but tight-knit family, going along with Sarah's project because they love her. Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times What a great movie. Bill Goodykoontz-Arizona Republic Never sentimental, never cold and never completely sure of anything, Polley comes across as a woman caught in wonder. Tom Long-Detroit News After you see it, you'll be practically exploding with questions - and with awe. Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer Stories We Tell is just the latest reminder of nonfiction film's current, endlessly innovative state. That's a story worth savoring. Chris Vognar-Dallas Morning News Polley interviews her family and acquaintances with remarkable candor and intimacy, perhaps as a method of catharsis, but it never feels like a vanity project or a simple airing of dirty laundry. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com The great conceit of Polley's theories of perspective and truth is that she, as director, ultimately controlled everyone's memories because she arranged them on film. Carla Meyer-Sacramento Bee As with her other films, when Sarah Polley takes it upon herself to tell us a story, you can bet it's a tale well-told and one that you'll want to hear. Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle What Stories We Tell does so brilliantly is both tell the story and tell about how we tell our stories. The truth may not be out there. Joe Gross-Austin American-Statesman This is a warm, brave and thought-provoking piece of autobiography. Hannah McGill-The List Stories We Tell shows us that the truth and the way its told are two very different things. Polley's wonderful documentary honors both by preferring neither. Jeff Meyers-Metro Times (Detroit, MI) I could not love it more. Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press As one watches it, certain questions may arise. But don't worry - the answers are fascinating. Calvin Wilson-St. Louis Post-Dispatch While I can understand any reluctance to view the personal business of others, Polley moves beyond the routine of therapy to shape an expressive and beautifully considerate documentary. Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com With Stories We Tell, actress-turned-director Sarah Polley has proven herself a consummate filmmaker, transforming an incredible personal story into a playful and profound investigation into the nature of storytelling itself. Annlee Ellingson-Paste Magazine Eventually, the formalistic strictures of the documentary fall away and Polley - her entire family, really - is left facing the reality of the past as the cameras roll.
