This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The film held my interest for about 45 minutes but then it devolved into a tease of when or if the brothers would ever exchange the info that needs to be exchanged, like a upperclass Dr. Phil show. But here's my real issue with the story -- which is intriguing, if true and also if it isn't (but for different reasons). There is absolutely no evidence that what the brother who lied says is true when he finally "comes clean." He lied before, he might be lying again. Sure the parents are creepy, many parents are. But where is the evidence of abuse? A cabinet with sex toys? Yeah, that happens. A weird photo -- hardly conclusive -- and many parents took similar shots, quite innocently - and so the photo got ripped. Well, that happens, too. The mother isn't there to defend herself, there are no other witnesses, no one has been charged. We are asked to take the brother's word for what happened. And the liar brother is also a bad actor (as in, he can't act) -- I didn't believe him when he finally spilled the beans.… Expand

This is SUCH a frustrating doc. The two subjects are horribly repetitive. The majority of the film is them rewording and rephrasing the same core sentiments. There's maybe 15 minutes of information in the 90 minute run time. It's all filler,This is SUCH a frustrating doc. The two subjects are horribly repetitive.

I don’t think I’ve ever watched something so heart breaking in my life.

I said to my partner 15 mins into ‘oh, turn this off babe, sounds **** (not reading any description) I’ve only cried at ‘my sisters keeper’ and this... this, I don’t even know.. the twin who knows everything says he’s a coward for not telling him the truth. You are nothing of the sort my friend, you are amazing people who can make change! Sending lots of love … Expand

I cried and it was a very great narrative throughout. If you have not seen it, highly suggested.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Beautifully moving. Two brave survivors find the strength to face their shared history of abuse and to move on together, more united than ever because of the acknowledgement of their pain and their ultimate redemption. Love can conquer all, even if it can’t erase memory. Well done - a real winner of a documentary.… Expand

An interesting story to be told here, but does come across as a bit of a cut and paste therapy session which is a shame.

Absolutely heart wrenching and real, it’s one of my favorite documentaries because of how touching the brothers stories are, it’s loving and gut wrenching at the same time.
