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 Movie Stories We Tell
This playful and elegiac documentary is wholly of a piece with Sarah Polley's fiction work, and just as rewarding.Guy Lodge-Variety
Canadian documentary skilfully deploys some ambitious creative gambits to explore the director's own family background.
Neil Young-Hollywood Reporter
Polley has gone meta-exuberantly, entertainingly, with all her heart.
David Edelstein-New York Magazine
[Stories We Tell] leaves you wondering about the nature of truth and wanting to know more about the hidden lives of those around us.
Amanda Mae Meyncke-Film.com
The film is oscillating from intriguing to dull, revealing to repetitious, frank to disingenuous, and moving to manipulative.
Rick Groen-Globe and Mail
Sarah Polley's brave quest to uncover her family's deepest secrets unfolds like a thriller, one where the resolution is literally part of her DNA.
Peter Howell-Toronto Star
A study on how facts have repercussions and are interpreted in different ways by different people.
Jordan Hoffman-ScreenCrush
Self indulgent, yes. But few autobiographical documentaries can boast of the jaw-dropping revelations of this one.
Roger Moore-Movie Nation
Would "Stories We Tell" have been as compelling if Polley didn't add all the post-modern devices to it? Probably. But the way she tells the story forces us to examine the too-tidy narratives of the stories we tell ourselves.
Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI)
A groundbreaking documentary written and directed by Sarah Polley about family secrets, memory, forgiveness, and reconciliation.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice
Sarah Polley is much more interested in the malleability of memory and the consequential refractions felt throughout her kin rather than telling a linear narrative.
Nick McCarthy-Slant Magazine
Polley points the camera at members of her own family and not only informs on where her directorial efforts stem from but confirm her as one of the best and most interesting filmmakers working today.
