Review: Three Identical Strangers

Documentaries as a film genre continue to go from strength to strength. The amount of amazing true stories that emerge onto the big screen the last few years have amazed me. But I think this latest might be the most amazing, strangest and eventually disturbing stories ever put to film.

When you read the synopsis of this story, you think it can't be true. But from the very first scene, they get right into it. Twenty minutes in, and you feel as if that was the story. Where else could go they? After that astonishingly feel good opening, the story gets deeper with some dark and upsetting results. Despite this story getting a lot of media attention in America in the early 90's, I knew nothing of this unique discovery.

The interviews with the people involved that were cut between the archive footage was very compelling and instantly gave you a feel of what they were experiencing and that just beautifully enhanced the whole film.

I am always excited for what documentaries are coming out each year and this one may have the best story. As for the execution, it's very well put together and feels like one of the best of this ever-growing genre.

Whether you are a fan aren't much of one of this genre, you have to see this to believe it.
