If you are a little older than I, you may have seen the 1980’s newspaper articles or photos in People magazine about three identical twins from New York who were separated at birth and found each other in their twenties. I missed this global sensation at the time, so of course I found this documentary on their lives engrossing — times three.
But there’s more. And I’m not telling. Three Identical Strangers is a lean-forward documentary that opens, closes, reopens and potentially closes the book on nature versus nurture. Truth is indeed stranger than fiction.
In a nutshell: You’ll experience every emotion while watching this documentary; it's one of the best films of the year.
Award potential: It’s a shoo-in for Best Film Documentary, which should make this the first film Madonna appeared in to be nominated in a major category, courtesy of a cameo from Desperately Seeking Susan.
The ten buck review: Double your pleasure. Triple your pleasure. Worth ten bucks
