Film Review: THREE IDENTICAL STRANGERS

The brothers, happily reunited.

A mind-blowing documentary that will have you questioning everything you think you know about yourself, Three Identical Strangers opens a door into the unwittingly nefarious nature of scientific advancement, complete with evil villains and innocent lambs. It's a true story which makes it even better and, at the same time worse, about identical triplets who were separated not at birth but at six months, and how they accidentally meet one another at the age of 19.

As New York Times critic Manohla Dargis wisely wrote in her review, this is a film that is "best watched knowing as little as possible about its specifics." I agree so will say no more. But I urge you to find it and watch it; it will entertain you and make you smarter. Besides, the film is shot beautifully in truly living color and includes historic footage of New York City in the 1980s, an exciting era before AIDS and terrorists ruined all the fun.
