Day 159 of the challenge! As difficult as it may be to watch, The Tale is an extraordinarily powerful film. Laura Dern is a treasure. The Tale tells the true (and incredibly personal) story of Jennifer Fox (who wrote and directed the film) and her experience with sexual abuse at the hands of people she trusted. And if that's not enough to grab you, the way she crafts the story is nothing short of amazing. Rather than tell her story in a traditional linear format, The Tale has Fox engage with her younger self through a series of altered and unreliable flashbacks as she tries and piece together the truth of her experience. If that's not powerful, I don't know what is. I can't recommend it enough!
