I could not bring myself to watch. I've seen documentaries on these young ladies and their story is remarkable and captivating. However, I have concerns as to why the director or casting crew could not find identical twins to play the role. From their childhood to young adulthood the twins are not portrayed by twins at all. This for many is a useless oversight but for me it's offensive. Cleary these actresses may have similar skin tones, hair color, eye color and maybe closely matched on weight and height. But they do NOT look alike. Surely, they could have found African American twins from just about all age groups to play this part. Yes, I'm referring to trained actresses. At least five come to mind. I refuse to try and trick my brain into thinking these people are identical throughout the whole movie. I'm way too tired for that.
