Laura Dern is forced to reexamine childhood memories in the drama The Tale
The Tale is the upcoming semi-autobiographical drama from writer/director Jennifer Fox. Jennifer (Dern), a globetrotting journalist and professor, lives an enviable life with her boyfriend in New York City. That is, until her mother finds a story Jennifer wrote at age 13 depicting a “special” relationship with two adult coaches. Reading the yellowed pages of "The Tale," Jennifer discovers the coded details she composed 40 years earlier are quite unlike her recollection.
