The cliché "stranger than fiction" is probably used a little too freely, but this really is that. Go to Full Review

4/5
It combines interviews, archive footage and dramatic reconstructions to take us as close in to the story as possible, not coming to any conclusions. You won't be able to look away. Go to Full Review

Jack F @MovieFan111 Dec 10 I only clicked on it because it looked interesting. I wasn't disappointed. It's always nice to watch a well made documentary once in a while. I never heard of these guys, but there story was really interesting. Glad I watched it. See more Kennedy J. @kennedyjosephs Nov 11 Really emotional and interesting documentary. Recommend this movie to everyone! See more Takis T May 19 Classic case of reality being far stranger than fiction. Watch this and you'll be rewarded (if that's the proper way of putting it) with a story so wild you'd think it's made up. Yet this is a documentary. See more Harrison B @emailaddress Apr 17 SPOILER: Very interesting. As a developmental psychologist, the only ethical issues seem to be whether they would tell them about it after, because I suspect that triplets aren't likely to be adopted, so the agency split them up for their own good, and not because they wanted to perform the study. It seems like telling everyone they have a twin is definitely the right move at this point though. Tacked-on happy ending about nurture though. See more Erik J @EJofLA 12/12/2024 I thought this was a very interesting documentary movie. It was a fascinating story and mostly told well. It just lost a star for me because it left out so much about their lives after their initial burst of fame. And with all the footage of them in their prime, I found it annoying that they showed a lot of clips multiple times instead of new clips. See more Rosana B 10/08/2024 Tão absurdo que beira o irracional, trés gêmeos separados por conta de um experimento que nunca foi publicado se mantém num sigilo (até 2065) absurdamente imortal, sem justificativa ou precedentes… Inúmeros casos, alguns suicídios, e me arrisco a dizer leiga e irresponsavelmente que apesar de criações adversas a genética se manteve firme nos casos citados, em que os gêmeos eram incrivelmente parecidos nas suas subjetividades, e o que matou Eddy e afetou os outros foi a separação… Estupendo...
