4 stars out of 4 -- Writer-director Sarah Polley intriguingly explores the vagaries of truth and the unreliability of memory in STORIES WE TELL, a brilliant, thought-provoking documentary.

3.5 stars out of 4 -- The result, with its flashing perspectives and stealthy wit, is unique and unforgettable.

[A]n investigative mystery, a real-life soap opera, and -- most compellingly, perhaps -- a searching 'interrogation' of the hows and whys of storytelling itself.

Rating: 8.8/10 -- It's thrilling, with emotional highs and lows that are intensified by the fact that we're watching real people-a real family-have their world shaken and turned upside-down. Full Review

Fiercely unsentimental, never nostalgic, [Sarah] Polley's version of the story is simultaneously always trying to get that much closer to the truth. Full Review

Product Description:

Sarah Polley's documentary STORIES WE TELL finds the director/actress exploring a family secret. She had discovered a few years earlier that her biological father was not actually the person she knew as her father; in an effort to fully understand this long-held family secret, Polley interviews every member of her family, and had the man she thought of as her dad write his version of events and record it, using him reading his story as a recurring voiceover throughout the film. STORIES WE TELL screened at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival.
