The whole works amazingly well and the viewer is engaged and moved by the immaculate telling of the story

I became aware of this film after watching Sarah Polley in Mr Nobody and it transpired that during the making of that Sarah had received news that the fact that her father was not her biological father was about to be made public. She had not informed her (step) father at that stage and had all sorts of repercussions. Partly perhaps to exorcise those demons she wrote and then featured in this documentary covering all her family and those involved in the story of her mother and her own conception. It is a remarkable tale beautifully told with resource to much family 8mm movie footage. Where there was no footage to illustrate various events such footage is immaculately reproduced. The whole works amazingly well and the viewer is engaged and moved by the immaculate telling of the story, which naturally involves many involved telling their own story. Unique.
