2018 Directed by Tim Wardle
New York, 1980. Three complete strangers accidentally discover that they're identical triplets, separated at birth. The 19-year-olds' joyous reunion catapults them to international fame, but also unlocks an extraordinary and disturbing secret that goes beyond their own lives – and could transform our understanding of human nature forever.

The evil Swiss scientist woman is the best villain in any movie this summer.
Truly fascinating. And frustrating. I'm sure a follow-up is on the way.
Watched on a DVD screener.
Good, but also had a few boring spots which sucks because it’s a really fascinating story. Also felt soooo long for only being an hour and 45.
and there i was thinking that Hereditary (2018) was the scariest film about family out this year ........ scientists are the real villain here king paimon whom
Trivia: They were actually quadruplets, the fourth died at birth and was unknown till after the documentary.
Heartwarming and tragic at the same time but engaging from start to end credits. One of the most amazing documentaries I ever saw.
It's not this movie's fault that I knew most of the details of the story going in, but it is this movie's fault that it doesn't really investigate the idea that this experiment, in addition to being wildly unethical at the very least, was inconclusive. Like a lot of portrait documentaries, it's content to abandon any actual thesis in favor of a simple human interest story, and at least this is a novel one.
Wow, I was going to make this a review with spoilers, but I’m writing it on my phone and it’s not giving me the option.
So bear with me.
It seems that most of the story is given away in the trailer, but the documentary goes far deeper than that. Much like Errol Morris’ Tabloid, once you don’t think I can get any crazier, it does.
It also explored nature vs. nurture pretty well. On the outside, the three identical brothers seemed identical on a superficial level. As they dug deeper, the differences between the triplets and how they were raised was astounding. Several genetic factors played a part in how they turned out, but the different environments also proved to be a huge consideration.
The editing, pacing, and careful unveiling of surprises was done in an immaculate manner.
This was the 252nd film I saw using Movie Pass.
