The Lost Sons (2021)
9/10
Unimaginably Complex Real Life Story
20 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I am glad that the mystery of the two Pauls were resolved by the end of the story. I was a bit disappointed that the biological sister and brother didn't want to meet Paul. Perhaps they wanted to keep something in the family hidden, such as a murder or manic parent. Or they didn't want someone who is mostly a stranger to come in and demand a share of the inheritance. We may never know.

I found it creepy that the maltreated twins were called Jack and Jill. All I can think of is the "Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water/ Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after" nursery rhyme. Quite possibly, we have here the making of a horror story. And Jill might have been gone many years ago.

I also wished the kidnapped Paul and his family had shown their faces.

The story has a lot of holes still. Perhaps internet sluthes have to work a bit harder to uncover the rest of the tale.
