Things I have seen with my eyes
Stories We Tell – Sarah Polley
Enjoyed this film last night. The family are so literate and handsome, it makes it even more tricky to identify the acting from reality. Sweet, touching – does exactly what it aims to – and is a far greater undertaking than one might guess at the outset. Watch the trailer for Stories We Tell here.
