Three Identical Strangers (2018)

Director: Tim Wardle. 96 min. Rated PG-13. UK. Documentary.

We already know the opening: a triplet who were separated at birth, in the early 1980's accidentally find each other at the age of 19. But that's nothing compared to what comes after. The answer to why they were separated leads to surprise after surprise, questioning nature versus nurture, and the dilemma of how research ethics evolve over time. It's a documentary, and you're glued to the screen till the very end. The filmmakers do eventually take a position, but their superficial and limited discussion of some very deep subjects is still a worthwhile ride.
