If you loved Stories We Tell, try Away from Her
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Sarah Polley, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags. If that's the register that drew you to Stories We Tell, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Away from Her is
A love story that’s allergic to histrionics tries hard not to outshine its own premise. Fiona, newly diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, checks into a care home where proximity trumps devotion, leaving Grant to relearn what it means to be forgotten. A quiet nudge for anyone who still thinks Alzheimer’s stories need operatic suffering.
