The Movie Teller (Spanish: La contadora de películas) is a 2023 comedy-drama film directed by Lone Scherfig from a screenplay by Walter Salles, Rafa Russo, and Isabel Coixet based on the novel by Hernán Rivera Letelier.
It stars Bérénice Bejo, Antonio de la Torre, Daniel Brühl, Sara Becker, and Alondra Valenzuela.
It is a Chilean-Spanish-French international co-production, and follows a story where a girl's gift for recounting the events in Hollywood movies transforms her family's fortunes in rural 1960s Chile.

[13] Maggie Lovitt of Collider gave the film a B+ rating, deeming it to be "a love letter to the community that grows from the seeds of storytelling".
