Episode 145 Stories We Tell
Stories We Tell (2012) is difficult to sum up. In 2007, director Sarah Polley discovered that her father was not her biological father. Ostensibly, this documentary is about that revelation and Polley’s desire to tell the story her own way. However, as the movie progresses, it becomes a poetic and surprising mediation on the fuzziness of memory, the perception of truth, and ultimately life itself. It’s more meta than your average meta documentary and well worth the watch. Join us for a reverse Mama Mia, a slightly melted Gene Shalit, and a milk bag story that’s running above the fold, this week on Ex Rated Movies!
