    Absolutely incredible

    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.

    Incredibly moving

    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!

    For those who doubt the story....

    First let me start by saying I loved the documentary, and found it both distburing and beautiful at the same time. There were some questions I was left with at the end but overall, I recommend it.

    I was quite surprised though when I saw people in the reviews on here questioning if this could all even be real, or whether it was some sort of story the brothers put together. I've seen some mention of whether someone could wake up and only recognize one thing (in this case, his twin brother) but the fact remains that we actually know very little about the brain. We don't even know how many neurons are in the brain, and you'd think that would be a good starting point of something we'd know by now, but it's still uncertain. Strange things happen within the brain and just recently a woman in the UAE woke from a vegetative state after 28 years, she is now speaking in conversations and undergoing physical therapy. The fact remains that the brain is a mystery and how it exactly works is based a lot on theory, in fact there's an entire field called brain theory.

    The second thing I saw criticized was the question of how a 14 year old boy could take a subway home and no one think anything was out of place (in 1978). And those who make this comment obviously have no understanding of British culture. As someone who lives in England I'm here to tell you if "minding your business" was an Olympic sport, the UK would win every year. People don't even like to look at each other on the subway here. So for a teenager to take the subway at home by himself in the late 70's and no one be concerned or question anything is totally believable to me, someone who currently lives in London.

    I feel the people who are nit-picking are doing so because the story is just so remarkable perhaps. But the fact remains we know very little of the brain and how it heals itself after trauma. And that is a scary fact.

    Incredible story

    Really good doc that tells the story of two twin brothers and the way both of them dealt with a very rare case of memory loss after one of them had an accident. Without spoiling some of the twists of their tale, let's just say it's a harrowing story that leaves you glued to your seat, just watching these two men talk. But, as some other people have mentioned, it's impossible not to doubt some of the details and, by the end, you have some questions that are left unanswered, which works against the movie. But the story is so captivating and is told in such an earnest and believable manner that it's impossible not to sympathize with both brothers. Very well done.

    Life changing

    I was able to watch this film without reading about it prior. It touched me to the core and I came out of the theatre a changed person. Very few films have ever had that effect on me. This film is relevant on so many levels. It will encourage people to be true to themselves and not keep dark secrets under wraps they suffered as children, often causing pain they carry for a lifetime and in many cases destroy lives - I commend the twins, Marcus and Alex Lewis in this wonderful doc for their bravery to come forward and share their lives' journeys with us. Beautiful job by director Ed Perkins who tells the story with so much integrity in a cinematic way. Even though shocking, this film is inspiring, empowering and will bring about change. Bravo!

    • Quotes

      Marcus Lewis: When Alex came back from the hospital, he didn't know who his mother was. He didn't know his house. He didn't know his bedroom. Didn't know his girlfriend. He didn't know he was in England. He didn't know... anything. But he knew... me. He knew who I was. If you've only got one fact in your mind, one thing that you know 100%, one thing that is yours, of your own, not something that anybody's given you, you then build everything around that fact. He had to trust me because he didn't have anybody else to trust. Without me, he had nothing.
