Sarah Polley’s daring film is a many-layered portrait of a loving but complex family that shouldn’t be missed by anyone interested in either film or families. “This tender, painful, intimate film is the work of Canadian actor and director Sarah Polley. It is a portrait of her troubled parents, a complex labour of love – part of what is fascinating and even thrilling about this movie is that Polley may not be aware of what it reveals about her personally. This is the second time I have watched it since last year's premiere at Venice, savoring its humor, its heartbreak and its unintentional disclosures, revealing the director's vulnerability and her formidable composure.” – Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

Rick Winston will introduce the film and lead a discussion afterword. Admission is few and contributions will be gratefully accepted.
