Stories We Tell Synopsis: 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
An exercise in family navel-gazing becomes something more meta - less about the stories themselves than about the often uproarious ways in which people tell stories.Bob Mondello-NPR
Polley is a good filmmaker but in the end, "Stories We Tell" feels less like a film than a family album - and one best appreciated, not by us, but by the Polleys still to come.
Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger
The fact that two of the principals - Sarah and Michael, who delivers touching and eloquent on-camera narration that he wrote himself - are accomplished actors adds another level of confusion and interest that help make this compelling storytelling.
Lou Lumenick-New York Post
"Stories We Tell" is two or maybe three dangerous kinds of movies all at the same time, and handled so brilliantly that the result is a transformative, unforgettable work of art.
Andrew O'Hehir-Salon.com
"Stories We Tell" has a number of transparent virtues, including its humor and formal design, although its most admirable quality is the deep sense of personal ethics that frames Ms. Polley's filmmaking choices.
Manohla Dargis-New York Times
The film is a mystery uncovered like a detective story, wrapped in a love letter.
Joe Neumaier-New York Daily News
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.
Leonard Maltin-Leonard Maltin's Picks
Sarah Polley has quietly and steadily proved that she is a filmmaker to watch.
Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews
I want to start a campaign right now to get Sarah Polley the first screenwriting nomination for a documentary.
Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews
[an] engrossing documentary exploration of how the bricks of memory are untidily piled together to create messy and incomplete personal stories, and out of those stories comes a life.
Chris Barsanti-Film Racket
One of the year's best films: funny, moving, thought-provoking - and so personal that it strikes universal chords.
Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine
Apart from minor details and interpretations, the witnesses don't often disagree about what happened. What does deepen as the people onscreen go on talking is our relationship with them: The more they reveal themselves, the more attractive they become.
Craig Seligman-Bloomberg News
An investigative mystery, a real-life soap opera, and-most compellingly, perhaps-a searching "interrogation" (the director's word) of the hows and whys of storytelling itself.
A.A. Dowd-AV Club
Both of Sarah Polley's previous movies were well-observed, if a bit uneven, but they hold the key to what makes "Stories We Tell" so terrific.
