Movie Info & Cast
Synopsis
This is not your typical daytime talk show “lost sibling reunion” segment. The documentary Three Identical Strangers tells the story of Bobby, David and Eddy, who at 19 years of age discover they are identical triplets who were adopted by three different Jewish families from the Louise Wise Adoption Agency in New York City. The heartwarming tale of sibling reconnection, however, soon becomes horribly heartbreaking. The men eventually learn that while their parents were told their children were being monitored to study the effects of adoption, they were actually part of a secret study on nature vs. nurture. They were, essentially separated at birth to be used as a control group. And they were not the only ones. Directed by Tim Wardle.

Such a well told story. So intriguing. Try not to read anything about this before you see it, it takes some turns and it will keep your interest the whole time.

Very good movie. Very sad story. Glad they got to see the experiment files in the end.

There have been better documentaries this year, but none of them are the roller-coaster ride that Three Identical Strangers turns out to be.

The best documentaries reveal the ways in which truth can be stranger (and wilder and weirder) than fiction. And director Tim Wardle’s stunning and tragic Sundance sensation, Three Identical Strangers, is stranger (and wilder and weirder) than most.

A gripping, stranger-than-fiction account of a real-world medical conspiracy, the film begins as a human-interest story and builds to an impressive work of investigative journalism into how and why they were placed with the families who raised them.
