Three Identical Strangers's reviews
Media reviews
Vulture
The director, Tim Wardle, has shaped the film as a detective story in which the more pieces of the puzzle are filled in, the more disgusted and infuriated we become.
The Wrap
As this movie goes on, and the narrative unfolds, you are likely to be saying to yourself, ?Oh my God,? every 10 minutes or so. [...] Wardle spent five years making ?Three Identical Strangers? after several other filmmakers had given up on this subject because they were always hitting a dead end, and so he deserves credit for journalistic doggedness and also for making a documentary that plays like a nerve-jangling thriller.
The Guardian
Wardle tells a compelling story of the three happy boys who became three unhappy men, their faces shining with a kind of ecstasy in their youth, then muted with sadness and bewilderment in middle age.
Indiewire
Three Identical Strangers does a solid job laying out a story that?s both remarkable and repulsive in equal measures.
The New Yorker
To reveal any more would be unfair, but prepare to be surprised by joy, at the outset, and to wind up baffled and sad.
