Sarah Polley’s new film revolves around a few key questions: Who was my mother? Who is my father? Have I been told the truth? What is truth? Subjective questions indeed, but such is the formal inventiveness of the film and its deft interplay of subjectivities, that subjectivity itself is transcended. That, dear audience, is art. "A remarkable movie [that] blends factual inquiry and something else—not quite fiction, but also not really documentary—to astonishing effect."—New York Times
