The truth can be relative.

Rating: 7/10 (17 September 2015)

In this film we see Will Bloom's efforts (Billy Crudup) to know the true life story of his father, Ed (Albert Finney / Ewan McGregor), who's dying and that is reputed to be a great storyteller, but never tell the truth about his own past.
The family and family ties are very present in this film, which seeks to show how important its to know and understand our family. What is the barrier that separates truth from falsehood? Can a man, telling the truth, be lying? Can what seems a lie to be the truth? The truth can seem like a lie? Who Is Ed Bloom, what's his past? That's what Will try to understand, feel frustrated that he does not know his own father, and fearing being unable to speak to his son, who will be born soon and will naturally want to know who was his grandfather. On his trip, Ed will be confronted with the lies and stories thought to be invented by Ed. A magical film, touching, that shows us how relative (and irrelevant) may be the truth when there is love and understanding.
