Sarah
Polley interviews every member of her family about her mother’s life. She had discovered a few years earlier
that her biological father was not the person she knew as her father. She discovered from her filming that truth depends on
who’s telling the story. Truth and
memory are elusive.
My
one question throughout this film is that I wondered if Sarah’s story is any
more important, compelling and interesting than any other person’s story? If a person is involved in the film
industry, does that make their story more worthy of telling? I also wondered if I could keep watching
this since the main character has passed away and she cannot contribute her side of the story? 3* (This movie is OK)
