Another great film that would have otherwise gone unseen by me! The Stories We Tell! I really loved the way this was filmed. There were so many parts of actual footage interwoven with dramatized scenes that looked and felt so real that me as a first time viewer couldn’t depict the two apart. I loved Michael I felt like he was the idealistic dad I always wanted in my life. Maybe not so good at domestic chores, but clearly possessed an unconditional love for his family, mainly his children. Diana somewhat bugged me. Her description sounded entirely too flighty, and she was just too much of a busy bee. Her kids come across as an outstanding bunch however! All appear to have such good hearts, and it kind of makes me want to know them all. Then add Hairy to the mix. This man seems like he should have his own documentary. Oh wait, he did… I wanted to not like him because the story told made him out to be a booty hound. It just rubs me the wrong way when I hear of a man so persistently wearing down a married woman until she succumbs to his advances. After we saw a little more of him, not the character of him, I accepted him as a good man as well. I could continue to go on talking of this film, but it’s late. Maybe another time
