Even without its numerous rug-pulls, which occur early enough that the movie soon takes on an entirely different tone, Twinless is a masterful example of shifting cinematic POV.

The film can be hard to watch, with many cringe moments. Both lead characters are extremely flawed and have unlikeable traits. **** of the movie itself becomes disturbing as things go along. Tonally, the film shifts and swerves. With all of that said, I adored this film and find it hard to forget. Characters we are meant to like do awful things. Characters we are mean to underestimate come out as the strongest and most likeable. The tonal shifts eventually reveal themselves to be reflective of the complexity of the characters: comedic one moment, dramatic another, with awkward bouts and emotional depths bouncing off one another... as they do in real life. This film is so unusual, unlike anything I have ever seen; but I'm the end it somehow felt so authentic to me, telling a tale of grief, loneliness and the effects of marginalization. James Sweeney, Dylan O'Brien and hidden gem Ainsling Francisco are all wonderful. I will see it again, maybe hoping to cringe a tiny bit less.

Es una película inusual y diferente. Tiene un buen equilibrio entre el drama y el humor negro, con actuaciones muy sólidas y una historia algo perturbadora e incómoda que logra enganchar desde el principio.

Twinless mines a steady drumbeat of solid laughs from the mismatched energy of its co-leads, and the Pinter-like precision of Sweeney’s dialogue is especially well-suited to the scenes where Dennis and Roman are talking at each other on completely different wavelengths.

Twinless is a masterfully crafted and thought-provoking dramedy that’s sure to leave you with much to grapple with. Beyond being thematically rich and carefully assembled, it’s also just a really good time.

It’s not just the structure of the film that is clever, Sweeney varies his joke delivery, so that there is a mix of one-liners and more slow-burn humour alongside a raft of sight gags.

The film is a bizarrely moving and darkly comic story about feeling like you’ve lost something you never had.

Whenever the film was on the verge of losing me, O'Brien's steady, remarkable performance brought me back. He really is that good here, and honestly, that might just be enough.

O'Brien carries the movie, but it wouldn't even be bad without him. Great acting, relatable themes, enjoyable dark humor. The last scene is stuck in my head. Just a great movie compared to the garbage that's been spat out recently.

Writer/director James Sweeney wrote himself a nice part for this film. He plays a twin who forms a fast friendship with another twin (Dylan O’Brien) at a support group for twins who’ve lost their sibling. Their relationship grows, helped with their easy chemistry and Sweeney’s smart script. He’s given himself the most charming role with lots of clever quips. O’Brien provides a solid opposite with depth to match. There are also some twists that make the connection dramatic and more compelling. This is a small indie film that’s much more entertaining and amusing than many of the streaming shows right now.
