'Twinless', directed by James Sweeney, centers on Roman, a man grieving his deceased twin brother, Rocky. Roman struggles with the expectations and reminders from strangers who see him as a reflection of his brother. This grief-driven narrative unfolds when Roman attends a support group and meets Dennis, who lost his own twin. Their relationship evolves as they navigate their contrasting identities and emotions, leading to surprising revelations and deepened connections. The film effectively captures the intersection of humor and sorrow through strong performances, particularly from Dylan O'Brien as Roman, showcasing the paradoxes inherent in grief.
The movie opens with a character in mourning, the short-tempered Roman (Dylan O'Brien), having to endure numerous strangers telling him how much he reminds them of his late twin brother Rocky.
The duo's jagged edges slowly begin fitting together in a genuine, if mildly co-dependent, friendship.
Dennis hides more than he lets on about his past, with Sweeney gradually revealing information to create narrative whiplash.
The film delves into the complexities of grief while providing a touching look at the unexpected bonds formed between two very different men.
