Okay, I am going to give away the whole movie in the next paragraph, so be warned!You were warned, so here goes: one adopted twin discovers the other adopted twin on the internet, and nothing bad happens in the whole movie. Everybody in the whole movie is sweet and nice and really happy. The American family and the French family are both cool with everything and everyone is overjoyed to have acquired additional family members. Some of the scenes are composed entirely of Sam and Anais just laughing.At one point I said to myself, "OMG, they're 45 minutes in and they've set this all up and now something awful is going to happen, either one of the sisters or some family member will have a terrible emotional reaction, or someone will get hurt." That's what would happen in a scripted drama. But since this is real life with Sam having had the vision to just record everything, what happened is what often happens in real life, which was that nothing bad happened. Instead they went to an adoptees' conference in Korea and everyone was nice there too, including the President of Korea who appears in a video and including the women who were the twins' pre-adoption foster mothers 25 years ago. Sam and Anais are disappointed that their birth mother didn't want to contact them, but they deal with it just fine.Basically there is less dramatic conflict in this movie than in any scripted drama that has ever been made. But how could one complain about this? Sometimes we need to be reminded that basically most people are good and loving people most of the time if circumstances and resources permit. This movie is sort of like a promotional video for the possibilities of humanity. You could argue perhaps, with justice, that we should spend more of our time watching documentaries about war and destitution which will motivate us to deal with the pressing problems of the world, but I don't think it would be legitimate to declare that the Bordier-Futterman intercontinental family can't make a movie about their actual lives, or that nobody else should ever watch it, or that their experiences aren't deep and meaningful.

I just finished watching this movie, just now :-) WOW this movie indeed touched me. I cried a lot, i laughed, i got upset and i got curious all while watching this movie. You get all emotions when watching this documentary about this two lovely sisters who found each other. The story was interesting and we viewers got to follow these two sisters on their life journey. A very emotional movies, when i saw the girls crying, i cried too :-) I wish they would create a 2nd edition of this story, so we could follow them in their next chapter in life. Whatever genre of film/documentary you are interested in, this applies to everyone i feel. We all can relate someone when it comes to LOVE/Family :-) I recommend everyone to watch this documentary.

Most of my interests have always been the science of the world we live in and one in particular is the phenomenon of identical twins. Children who are of the same DNA but who grew up as two separate people. No two people in the world are as similar as identical twins. We also were given the gift of having identical twins in our extended family so this documentary was even more interesting to me.In summary just let me say this is a totally absorbing film and watching it alternately brought warm feelings and tears to my eyes. The sisters are great, they appreciate the lives they have been given, their parents and friends appreciate them.All this would not have been possible for them had it not been for the internet, especially Youtube and Facebook. In 2013, when the sisters were about 26, one friend noticed an image that looked just like his friend but knew it wasn't his friend. This got into motion messages, friend requests, online chats, Skype visits, and finally a remarkable face-to-face visit in London. Originally put up for adoption in Korea, Anais Bordier, one of the twins, grew up in France while the other, Samantha (Sam) Futerman, grew up in New Jersey. Anais moved to London to pursue her fashion design interests while Sam moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting. In fact, with funding help through Kickstarter, Sam acted as writer, producer, and director for this documentary.

This documentary was possibly the most emotionally involving film I've seen in years. As the protagonist becomes immersed in the totally surreal experience of discovering and meeting her doppelgänger on another continent, the viewer can completely empathize with every twinge of emotion, euphoria, stupefaction, and deep, deep feeling. It also provides some good insights into the Korean international adoption phenomenon and the large number of adoptees hoping to meet their birth mothers. By turns hilarious and heartrending, it really gives you the whole roller-coaster experience. Bring a hanky and be prepared to fall in love.The skill and immediacy of the story-telling are phenomenal--well-conceived and beautifully executed. The music and animation are effectively and judiciously used, and the editing was genius.Of course it is an amazing story, so that helps. It left me wanting to stay involved in the story, caring so much about these endearing, creative, hilarious, true-hearted people. Brava! (pop)
