Please do not call The Tale "a #MeToo movie." It's reductive. And this beautiful, gripping, disturbing film deserves to be looked at with as much nuance as it offers. It's not a damned hashtag-anything movie.

The film is, necessarily, shocking but Fox handles what must have been difficult emotional material for her in a cool and responsible way that makes the message she delivers all the more devastating.

The film feels like [Jennifer Fox is] taking us on a journey of self-exploration without a foregone conclusion, which makes the end result both satisfying and not satisfying, much like real life.

The Tale is not a wonderful story by any means but it's so beautifully crafted by Jennifer Fox with a career-best performance by actress Laura Dern.
May 24, 2018
Dern, not surprisingly, rises to the occasion as a woman questioning everything she knows. The power in her performance is in moments of quiet flux.

The Tale is above all a work of profound empathy, as a look inside someone's psyche would have to be.
May 25, 2018
The most shocking, upsetting thing Fox has done is tell a story about the malleability of our memories.

Ultimately, "The Tale" is a wrenching, heartfelt success.

The film is one long interrogation, not only from Jennifer the character's standpoint, but from a directorial standpoint.

Fox does well by her protagonists - both of them.

"The Tale" is a push, then, to disseminate a hard truth - and by extension an argument for confronting the reality of abuse and abusers, no matter how painful that process might be. And it's effective. Frighteningly, unforgettably so.

In a performance that ranks among the best I've seen in any film (theatrical or otherwise) this decade, Laura Dern essentially stands in for Fox... a beautifully nuanced portrayal of a smart, accomplished, independent woman.
