In this unusual and extremely accomplished drama, Roman (Dylan O'Brien) and Dennis (James Sweeney) meet at a support club for bereaved twins and strike up an awkward friendship, two very different people but seemingly linked by their experience of grief and struggling in their own ways, but they are also connected by a slowly-revealed secret that looms over the second half of the film in particular and ultimately explodes. It is creatively constructed and presented, exquisitely written and beautifully played by the two leads as it explores loss, loneliness, identity and male friendship by going in truly unexpected directions. This is a film to be savoured and enjoyed as it unfolds; even the trailer misdirects intriguingly. Twinless is a quirky, admirable, intimate and singular drama that breaks your heart and makes you laugh out loud unexpectedly, and it is a terrific achievement by actor?producer O'Brien and writer/director/actor Sweeney.
