This documentary is so well written, researched, produced and narrated by the principles and the contributors. Clearly deserving of its Sundance award and should be a must view by students everywhere.

3 Identical strangers could have been a really great 45 minutes short doc but it's current length is way too long and tends to drag on. Wait for Netflix on this one.

This documentary has to be one of CNN's worst... The drama they attempt to inject into this flaccid story is pitiful. If strange stories stemming from the Cold War era are surprising to you, then congratulations, you've finally woken up from the coma that you have been in since 1970.I actually fell asleep watching this in theatres, which was a first.

You must know the story. I don't understand. if the purpose was to study identical children raised in different environs, why wasn't anything ever published? more question than answers. warning. this is a very painful movie. beware.
