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.

Some Trailer For Stories We Tell
New Review For Movie Stories We Tell
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
It's a relationship drama spanning three decades, a detective mystery, an essay on the nature of memory, and a critique of our need to process messy human life into streamlined narrative arcs even at the cost of oversimplifying.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
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.
Josh Larsen-LarsenOnFilm
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.
