Three Identical Strangers (2018)

This widely available documentary has received alot of publicity, which is well deserved, and and it has been short-listed for Best Documentary.  Let me digress onto this for a bit.  The short list is 15, five of which will eventually be nominees, but it is a very good list of what documentaries would be worth watching from 2018, and last year I found that more than a few films that did not make the final cut were more interesting than some of those that do.
Edward, Robert, and David all have different last names because they were adopted by different families. None of the families were told of the existence of the other siblings, and it turns out it was an unsupervised social experiment.  Their households were upper-middle class, middle class, and working class. While Edward’s dad was a disciplinarian, David’s father ended up being equally beloved by the reunited brothers. Despite their differences in upbringing, the twins had remarkably similar mannerisms, smoked the same cigarette brand, had the same taste in women, and so on. The story follows the boys through their reunion, and demonstrates to that while money can buy a certain amount of happiness for those with cash, it does not make them an ideal parent.
