Stories We Tell (2012) Directed by Sarah Polley

Acclaimed actor and filmmaker Sarah Polley delves into the mysteries of her own family and identity—and uncovers a shocking secret—in this riveting, fearlessly personal autobiographical hybrid work. Interweaving interviews with family members and friends with Super 8 home movies, Polley crafts a slippery, multilayered investigation into family lore and the elusive nature of truth that continues to be a touchstone in the evolution of first-person documentary filmmaking.

This is The Recommendation Game, a bi-weekly podcast where two film lovers take turns to recommend a film the other has not seen, they watch and then skype to discuss it. Spoilers are a given.

We are Ricardo Deakin and Orla McNelis, two filmy types who love waffling.
