Watch Stories We Tell FULL Movie Box Office

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

Sarah might have wrapped up this documentary after her parentage is revealed about 70 minutes in, yet it continues for another 50 as she ruminates over the tale,... her engrossing personal story gradually devolving into an exercise in self-regard.
J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader

Stories told again and again have a way of neatening things up. Stories have a way of ironing out the wrinkles. Polley lets the wrinkles remain.
Sheila O'Malley-Chicago Sun-Times

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

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.
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
