Laura Dern and Isabelle Nélisse in “The Tale.”
The Tale
Laura Dern, Jason Ritter and Ellen Burstyn star in Jennifer Fox’s semi-autobiographical debut that’s been billed as the first great #MeToo movie. With a job that takes her around the world and a doting boyfriend, filmmaker Jennifer has it all — or so she thinks until a story she wrote at age 13 resurfaces and belies her memories of her relationship with two adult mentors. IndieWire calls it “a true cinematic achievement.”
In limited release, coming to Netflix soon.
