In “Stories We Tell” the director, who comes from a clan of actors and artists, interviews and otherwise explores and interesting family mysteries. While this is interesting, it’s the broader examination of the way we construct narratives for others and ourselves that is particularly fascinating. (And, given the circumstances of the film making, very meta, without dwelling there for its own sake.)
(side note, both the director and her father will be familiar to those fortunate enough to have followed the Canadian series Slings and Arrows)
This film is currently available to stream on Netflix and Epix.

(In honor of #IFFBOSTON each day of the festival I’ll post a capsule review of an alumni film)
