‘The Tale’ Review: This Brave & Heartrending Story Couldn’t Be More Important Or Timely [Sundance]

However, it’s Laura Dern’s stirring performance and young Isabelle Nélisse as her younger self who drive the movie. Dern grows increasingly panicked and determined as more of her memories come to light while Nélisse also goes through a transformation of sorts as her younger self comes to terms with what she really endured at 13 years old. Each actress eventually stands strong in the face of such heinous acts, and the film becomes what will undoubtedly be a pivotal piece in strengthening and continuing the #MeToo movement tearing through our culture.
The movie doesn’t yet have distribution, but hopefully you’ll be able to see it later this year.
/Film Rating: 10 out of 10
