Review of Three Identical Strangers (2018) by Grantd243 — 10 Jul 2018
Three Identical Strangers is a documentary that tells the remarkable and rather disturbing story of a set of triplets that were separated at birth by an adoption agency and placed in three different households, but by complete coincidence two of them find each other when they're around 19 years old, and then the third enters the picture after seeing his two brothers in the newspaper.
Unfortunately, that's about as far as I can go without getting into spoilers, which would really ruin the experience with this film. The story telling here is quite good. They do a great job of setting up a happy story about three brothers re-uniting after growing up separately before delving into what is really a dark story.
Every time it seems like it's reached an end there is more to be told and uncovered. There are a few moments where it seems like the mystery is hyped up a little bit more than it needs to be, but that's a rather small nitpick.
It's very well made and is better than your run-of-the-mill TV/Netflix documentary. I think it's well worth the watch.
