Tell Me Who I Am

This is like The Truman Show meets What's Eating Gilbert Grape, except it's real. The story is so sad but in some strange way still infused with beauty and love. The metaphors are the most powerful I have ever seen. I truly applaud the courage of these two brothers who started together, were torn apart, and finally made it back to each other despite the darkness they both experienced in their own way. Truly a work of art and a labor of love.

Probably the most poignant doc I've ever watched. To witness such selfless love in the face of such monstrous evil...It's hard to even put it into words. Do yourself a favor and watch it.

I like how the movie is presented: two simple monologues combined with supporting illustration of dark moments. But one things is missing: what happened right before Alex got accident? Where and why he was going on the ride?

Powerful, raw, painfully honest.

You can't underestimate the way that this documentary will act as a conversation starter and help others who have experienced similar things & to open up and discuss.

I find it astonishing that people (with hostility too-what, why?) are questioning whether this story is real or not. Have you been outside?

I work as a beautician and have several clients who have come to treat me as both a beauty therapist & a therapist (ask any hairdresser too, they'll tell you the same) and some of the revelations of abuse I've heard have been utterly harrowing but just as shocking to me is that they are not so uncommon.

One of the messages this documentary spoke to me was how important it is shift the shame from the victims to the abusers, where it belongs. I commend Marcus and Alex, your courage is truly moving, thank you!

The best way to watch this is to see it without reading anything about it including any reviews. Its unsettling and deeply moving. My only criticism is that it feels a bit repetitive towards the middle portion and the pace slackened while they could have explored the history a bit more.
