A seemingly divine premonition leads Norwegian sisters Kari and May to buy an apartment in the small Swedish town of Gullspång. To their surprise, the seller looks surprisingly similar to their older sister Astrid, who committed suicide thirty years earlier. What's even more odd is that this doppelgänger used to go by "Lita," the same nickname as their deceased sister.

Fionnuala Halligan Screen International One of the twistiest documentaries this side of Three Identical Strangers, although that’s where the comparison ends. Jun 15, 2023 Full Review Matt Zoller Seitz RogerEbert.com A charming, moving, and thought-provoking film. Jun 15, 2023 Full Review Nick Schager The Daily Beast [The film's] astonishing twists and turns transform what appears to be one sort of unbelievable fable into an altogether different eye-opener. Jun 12, 2023 Full Review Theodoor Steen ScreenAnarchy By constantly shifting gears and genre, this becomes a documentary that is about storytelling itself. ... It's documentary filmmaking as a highwire tightrope walking act. ... One of the year's great documentaries. Dec 30, 2024 Full Review Jo-Ann Titmarsh HeyUGuys Maria Frederiksson’s enthralling feature documentary debut is solid gold. The film leads us through a compelling labyrinth of carefully unravelling secret histories where truth is absolutely stranger than fiction. A must-see! Rated: 5/5 Jan 23, 2024 Full Review Christopher Cross Drink in the Movies Fredriksson’s film explores a human reaction to suddenly knowing everything and nothing – one that forces the film to dissect the role religion plays within a tight-knit family and the truths they aren’t willing to accept. Rated: 74/100 Sep 7, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Sir Martimus U The movie is an hour and 50 mins long. About an hour and a half in, they invalidate the entire premise of the movie. What a waste of time. Like the director says in the film, "I'm a little upset." Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/02/25 Full Review Audience Member Enjoyed it but it was a great lead up to a frustrating unanswered finish. Maybe there’ll be a second part-if so I’ll look forward it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/02/24 Full Review Leaburn O Entertaining and frustrating in equal measures. The zodiac of documentaries. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/04/24 Full Review Read all reviews
