Watch movie theater 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
Sarah Polley's documentary is a startling mixture of private memoir, public inquiry, and conjuring trick. Anthony Lane-New Yorker Polley was right to follow her instincts, though, in not attempting to tie everything up. She recognizes that family histories are necessarily contradictory, crazymaking, and essentially unfathomable. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor What unfolds is a riveting drama that grows even more so as it plays out. Ann Hornaday-Washington Post Don't be fooled by its deceptively simple title or the hesitant, unassuming way it begins. Writer-director Sarah Polley's "Stories We Tell" ends up an invigorating powerhouse of a personal documentary, adventurous and absolutely fascinating. Kenneth Turan-Los Angeles Times A brilliant, thought-provoking documentary. Claudia Puig-USA Today A fascinating variant on the documentary form that examines what we see, and how we see it. John Anderson-Newsday Polley imaginatively fills in the past through a hybrid of documentary and fiction [for] knowing relevance to oral history, testimonial evidence, and what makes a family. Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com What I can say is that the movie is dramatically compelling, journalistically fascinating, cinematically profound, and intellectually challenging. Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid Sheds fascinating light on Polley's art. James Verniere-Boston Herald Polley mines her own life to strip naked the essence of storytelling, and what it is about folklore that makes it so essential in shaping our perceptions about who we are and where we come from. Al Alexander-The Patriot Ledger Stories We Tell starts out as a simple investigation into the life of a mother that director Sarah Polley barely knew and slowly turns into a documentary that is as good as any movie you will see this year. Ben Kenber-We Got This Covered Where Polley's work goes from mere family movie to something much greater is in how she uses her own quest for answers to illuminate why & how we tell stories in the first place, especially in the form of film. Brian Tallerico-HollywoodChicago.com Polley's compassion and curiosity again mark her as both a heartfelt and unforgiving filmmaker. Matt Pais-RedEye Suspenseful, unpredictable, mature, tender and funny. A triumph. Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru The movie is convincingly built around the essential truth that we are ultimately defined by our loved ones' memories and perceptions. Robert Levin-amNewYork A genre-twisting documentary with a fictional vibe that playfully bares the elusive truths about a family of storytellers. Erica Abeel-Film Journal International Sarah Polley has blossomed as an actress and, more recently, as a daring and original filmmaker with an Oscar nomination to her credit.
