Claudia Puig FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) The cliché "stranger than fiction" is probably used a little too freely, but this really is that. Dec 14, 2019 Full Review David Sexton London Evening Standard 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. Rated: 4/5 Feb 28, 2019 Full Review Suzi Feay Financial Times This haunting documentary uncovers as much of the truth as is possible. Rated: 5/5 Feb 22, 2019 Full Review Bianca Garner Filmotomy Three Identical Strangers is a documentary that is both entertaining and highly informative, giving us a unique insight into what it means to have our own sense of identity and personality. Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Sukanya Verma Rediff.com Through the course of its shocking revelations, Three Identical Strangers questions the ethics of damaging research.

Rosana B 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... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review Zuzanna B Clicked on because I was curious and then couldn't stop watching Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/28/24 Full Review Alec B It gets a little too saccharine in some of its conclusions, especially when you consider all the dark turns the narrative takes, but perhaps that is an effort to rebuke the cruelty inflicted on these people. Regardless its a compelling narrative. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/05/24 Full Review Joel H Three Identical Strangers tells a truly incredible true story. And one of the strangest things is that it has been revealed and reported on multiple times in past, yet I hadn't heard about it. Nevertheless, it really makes you ponder about nature vs. nurture, and how far is too far when it comes to scientific research. However, while this documentary starts out with jaw-dropping revelations which lead to heart-breaking events, the film begins to lose some steam near the end when it's trying to explain the why of it all. Still, I'm going to be thinking about Three Identical Strangers for a while. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/01/23 Full Review Gareth v Heart breaking and at times uplifting story. An amazing doco that has plenty of twists and moments that will keep you emotionally invested in it's participants. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/23/23 Full Review Nikita S Very interesting movie.
