Release Date : May 10, 2013 Limited
Genre :Documentary,Drama,Art House & International,Special Interest Mpaa Rating : PG-13In 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.

New Trailer For Stories We Tell
Special Review For Movie Stories We Tell
Everyone has a different story. I found myself holding my breath listening to them talk. The story twists like a thriller.Cath Clarke-Time Out
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
To her credit, Polley never attempts to deflect the painful truths that she unearths, leaving them raw and open for us to experience right along with her.
Travis Hopson-Examiner.com
This is a hard-to-classify and very personal doco, a study of the stories families tell each other and the stories we tell ourselves, regardless of whether either are in any way 'true'.
David 'Mad Dog' Bradley-Rip It Up
Canadian actress/director Sarah Polley (Away from Her; Take This Waltz) presents an absorbing family history that is so ingeniously mounted it doubles as a wry commentary on the documentary form, examining our willingness to believe what we see.
Jim Schembri-3AW
Just when you think you know where it's heading and what it's emphasising... the film unexpectedly changes direction. It's so beautifully done.
Matthew Toomey-ABC Radio Brisbane
An extraordinary work that is both an intellectual examination into the nature of how cinema represents reality as well as a deeply moving personal project.
Thomas Caldwell-Cinema Autopsy
There are many moments when I was moved to tears - when raw truths involving emotions, are delivered by family members in spontaneous, unrehearsed fashion. Polley has crafted a rare jewel of a film that reveals much about her own family
Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile
What is not in doubt is the raw emotion in this work - from Polley quivering with nervous energy as she watches her father read some of the more revelatory pieces of script - to the impact airing the family's dirty linen in public has on her siblings.
Amber Wilkinson-Eye for Film
Fascinating personal documentary.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Slowly but surely Polley pieces together her own family's history to create a kind of cinematic narrative - complete with a twist straight from a soap opera.
Graham Young-Birmingham Mail
An unconventional but wonderfully assembled exploration of how -- and why -- we tell stories, all wrapped in a closely guarded family secret.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune
Polley is savvy, using her talent as a director -- as a storyteller -- to give it universal appeal even though it's a very specific account.
Eric D. Snider-About.com
Perhaps the most organic, transformative meeting of form and function I've seen this year.
Charlie Lyne-Ultra Culture
Stories We Tell is cinema cutting to the profound truth of why we use narrative to make sense of the world.
Blake Howard-2UE That Movie Show
For the most part, Polley's thoughts and feelings are pretty much absent, but the film makes some nice observations about memory and how it affects - yup - the stories we tell.
Stephen Carty-Flix Capacitor
The movie isn't really about the Polley family: It's about memory, and loss, and forgiveness, and, through it all, hope. It'll knock you over.
Will Leitch-Deadspin
What emerges is a fascinating and illuminating story, one that runs the gamut from intense joy to deep sadness and features a couple of surprising twists that take proceedings off in strange and unusual directions.
Alistair Harkness-Scotsman
An honest and authentic documentary that powerfully explores the filmmaker's own family.
John Hanlon-John Hanlon Reviews
Polley's portrait of modern family life is a playfully profound discussion of narrative forms - the way in which we each construct our own reality through stories, part truth, part invention.
Mark Kermode-Observer [UK]
A decent piece of work, but too fussy for its own good.
Donald Clarke-Irish Times
Polley approaches every character with compassion, intent upon blessing them, and serving the audience with useful questions about how we seek the truth.
Jeffrey Overstreet-Response
