Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

pamma09 This documentary will stay with you for a long time after viewing and you will still not have answers to your questions. Three babies separated and adopted by three families - all different - and watched over many years. The history of how 2 found each other, and then the third and the publicity that followed. The story gets more interesting and more questions come to mind. The connection of the adoption agency, a Dr. Neubauer, and why??? The interviews with the parents, the assistants to Neubauer, and mostly with the men themselves are amazing in telling this story. A well produced, well written and well told. This is a story I will wonder about for a long time.

ccorral419 Documentarian Tim Wardle ("One Killer Punch" 2016) brings to the public (via CNN Films) an amazing and eye-opening story about three adopted boys (Eddy Galland, David Kellman and Robert Shafran), who not only find each other, but reveal a secret surrounding their separation at birth. Through one-on-one interviews, home footage and TV appearances replays, Wardle stylistically introduces the boys to the audience, providing them the opportunity to tell their own story, as the audience relives their exciting reunion(s), their rise to sudden celebrity recognition. Warbler graciously stays out of the way of his subjects, as they recount their upbringings, enabling the audience to become fully invested in their families, their life and their story. And, just when he has the audience smiling and feeling good, he slowly reveals a striking human nature backstory that flips the joyous feeling on it's side. Will answers be found? What do the men learn about their past? Who approved the separations and why? All these questions and more are revealed here in this terrific and emotional documentary. Waddle could find himself recognized come Awards time.

andre andreas This documentary caught me off guard because it started as a happy union between three identical brothers and eventually turned into an ethical problem while discussing the importance of nature vs. nurture in human development. The true story of how the brothers united is truly heart warming and funny. The second half is better because it brings to light how an adoption agency in the 60s-80s took part in scientific studies that focused on how children developed based on their environment. Their goal was to separate identical twins and give them to different families to see how the different family structures and environment affected their development. nature vs. nurture. Back then this was less illegal but now it would be shocking. This is a great documentary for students and individuals interested in how scientific inquiry developed, psychology, family discipline, child development, etc.

SophiaMazzella I went to see Three Identical Strangers in theaters without knowing almost anything about the story and was surprised and amazed from start to finish. The story that focuses on triplets who were separated at birth and reunited by chance at age 19, wastes no time in drawing you in. With a series of both incredible and disturbing twists the film keeps you completely engaged throughout as it shifts from the exciting reunion story to the darker elements of how this event shaped these young men's lives. The film does a great job letting its audience get to know and feel for the main subjects. It delivers an intimate portrayal the unbelievable event that begins the story, as well as the events that followed, which keeps the audience all the more emotionally connected to the people at the center of this story. Finally, this film is an absolute must see for anyone interested in psychology, specifically the nature vs nurture debate. Although the film sometimes forgets to address all sides of the story, it ultimately asks more questions than it attempts to answer, which is a good thing. The fact that the film can't settle this debate, gives the audience more to reflect on and makes the film more interesting. Ultimately, Three Identical Strangers in a compelling, well crafted documentary telling a shocking true story that will keep you thinking for days after you see it.
