I’m a big fan of Sarah Polley, and liked how personal this documentary was, about her trying to learn more about her mother, who died when Polley was 11, by interviewing family and friends, and sharing vintage Super-8 home movie footage that is later revealed to be re-enactments. She also discovers more secrets about her identity and her family history, like how she was the product of an extramarital affair between her mother and a film producer. I only watched part of the film, but I found it fascinating, and liked how Polley has this compassionate heart in her filmmaking and comes off like a regular person in her roles and directing features.
