Review of Stories We Tell (2012) by Andy P — 20 Nov 2014
Alan Moore once wrote "There's a notion I'd like to see buried: the ordinary person. Ridiculous. There is no ordinary person.".
Even the most commonplace of people may have the most startling depths, and while the brilliant Sarah Polley may not exactly belong to an everyday family, she provides a shining embodiment of Moore's words in this wonderful film, marvelously unwinding her late mother's life and revealing layer after layer of surprising secrets.
Ingeniously narrated, funny, warm and moving - this is a treasure that I am glad I discovered. Watch it!
