Plot summary

Canadian actress and filmmaker Sarah Polley investigates certain secrets related to her mother, interviewing a group of family members and friends whose reliability varies depending on their implication in the events, which are remembered in different ways; so a trail of questions remains to be answered, because memory is always changing and the discovery of truth often depends on who is telling the tale.

This remains one of the most powerful and challenging documentaries I have ever seen. It pulls you in and slowly evolves its purpose. Asking the value of any one truth in the cannon of a family's story. By exposing her families truth and sharing all the associated pain, Sarah Polley gently pushes her family to face who they are and question who they want to be together.

I didn't find this interesting for a long time - narrated documentary about a marginally interesting character (outgoing woman, insecure, hopping from relationship to relationship, died of cancer) -- maybe if you're into mediocre soap operas, that would be good for you ... the purpose of the film only comes to light in the last 20 minutes, then it's more interesting. The point it makes has been made many times but it carries a different angle when it's a real story with real people.
