Our take
Before winning an Oscar® for Women Talking, Canadian director Sarah Polley received another Oscar® nod for this riveting adaptation of an Alice Munro short story. Starring British acting royalty Julie Christie, Away From Her is a startling, mature drama that signals even more profound work to come.
