I was expecting some emotional documentary but story got very dark, very fast. JUST WOW. You need to see this one without knowing anything about it. It raised so many questions in my head. A MUST SEE.

A very interesting story that proves true life can sometimes be stranger than fiction. A bit manipulative but still worth a watch to see this incredible story.

Cannot say that this is the type of documentary which I am usually looking for but somehow it got me interested. I was surprised that it got so dark probably because I did not know the background story and never heard about those triplets before. Unfortunately sometimes I felt like some emotions were fake or not that strong as it should be. Something like creators told them try to look more sad etc..

A good movie with an interesting and surprising story based on real events. The plot explores human curiosity and what we are capable of doing in the name of discovery. While curiosity can bring benefits, this movie shows an example of how it can lead to negative consequences. It also makes you reflect on free will and how DNA might influence our life choices.

I knew the basic premise o More

I was not impressed by this. The producers played this up as an extraordinary set of events that brought these brothers together and a conspiracy that created the separation in their lives. The fact of the matter was that all three of them [spoiler]grew up in the same area, and two of them ended u More
