'Three Identical Strangers' A Review

Three Identical Strangers is a documentary that begins as a feel good story of lost brothers found and gradually descends into deeper, darker, and more complicated territory. The film uses a combination of present first person interviews and archival footage to unspool the story mainly from the brother's perspective.

Bobby, Eddy, and David three identical triplets were separated at birth, each adopted by different families who had no knowledge of their child's siblings. When Bobby got to college he was greeted familiarly and mistaken for Eddy who had attended the previous year. The two eventually connected and the story became national news drawing the attention of David and at 19 the three were reunited. Discussing the story further would spoil it's bizarre and heartbreaking twists suffice it to say after the excitement and joy of finding each other began to wane the brothers began to ask why they had no knowledge of each other in the first place. Their journey to the truth reveals a shocking degree of deception, moral corruption, and tragedy. It is a celebration of compassion and fellowship and a bleak investigation of ethics.

An incredibly powerful story about what it is to be human. More description would only erode it's impact.

Don't Miss It.
