Full Plot Details

Mark Wexler's cinematic blend of biography and autobiography centers on his relationship with his father, legendary Oscar-winning cinematographer and filmmaker Haskell Wexler, whose long and illustrious career is a virtual catalogue of 20th-century classics. Haskell's collaborations with such world-class filmmakers as Elia Kazan, Milos Forman, George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola and Mike Nichols include such works as WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?, AMERICAN GRAFFITI, COMING HOME, BOUND FOR GLORY and ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST. The film features interviews with many of these artists, along with such luminaries as Jane Fonda, Michael Douglas and Sidney Poitier. But the true "star" of TELL THEM WHO YOU ARE is Haskell himself, a controversial, larger-than-life character who challenges his son's filmmaking skills while announcing with complete conviction that he could have done a better job directing most of the movies he's shot. As these two men swap positions on camera and behind it - sometimes shooting one another simultaneously - the film looks with honesty and compassion at their attempts to reconcile before it's too late.

Movie Reviews

Minneapolis Star Tribune - 10/10 by Erik LundegaardA hilarious, poignant documentary from Mark Wexler, son of famous cinematographer Haskell Wexler, about his irascible, politically headstrong father.
Film Scouts - 9/10 by Jason GorberIt's a remarkable documentary, thoroughly enjoyable and one of the most powerful films I've seen in quite some time.
Associated Press - 9/10 by Christy LemireIt works as a portrait of a father-son relationship that's awkward, volatile, uneven and always painfully real.
USA Today - 9/10 by Mike ClarkWhat we really get from son Mark's unusual take is a sterling movie about fathers (especially famous fathers) and offspring.
Oregonian - 9/10 by Marc MohanAs fascinating as all the film history is, the movie's core is the dynamic between a famous but distant parent and his child.
Variety - 9/10 by Todd McCarthyA compelling look at the great cinematographer Haskell Wexler by his photojournalist son Mark.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 9/10 by Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)Tell Them Who You Are achieves greatness in its climax, which goes beyond the many faces Haskell Wexler shows the world and reveals yet another side, one that seems to surprise even him.
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Owen GleibermanBeneath its exploration of fatherly distance, this is really a portrait of why cranks make better artists than earnest nice guys.
Newark Star-Ledger - 9/10 by Lisa RoseIt's a case in which the director should have put his ego and personal issues aside to create a more conventional life story.
New York Times - 9/10 by Stephen HoldenNear the beginning of the movie, the younger Wexler admits that the film is his attempt to get closer to his father. This sense of personal mission helps make Tell Them Who You Are the richest documentary of its kind since Terry Zwigoff's "Crumb."
