Alex knew nothing his life was a black hole, filled by whatever his twin brother told him.Īs the documentary progresses, it quickly surfaces that Marcus fed Alex lies about their childhood. Everything feels real, proving the fact that anything can be documented when someone knows nothing. Marcus shows Alex family photos, snippets from holidays and the presentation of a lovely, yet privileged childhood.
Tell Me Who I Am puts the audience in a false sense of security, believing that this is a simple tale of rehabilitating a family member. Teaching him the basics “Here is the kitchen, here is the TV, here is where we sleep”. It documents how one of the brothers was in a near-fatal accident, thrown into an induced coma, and when he wakes up, he only remembers his twin brother.Īct one describes how Marcus helped his twin brother Alex resurface in the real world.
I viewed the film knowing very little, discarding the vague premise believing it would be an insightful tale about twin brothers. If you are reading this review, and you have not read the premise for the Netflix documentary Tell Me Who I Am, I’d prepare yourself for an extremely difficult feature to watch.
