Twinless

When Roman's (Dylan O'Brien) twin brother Rocky passes away, Roman feels utterly lost without his other half; after all, they've done everything together and have always been there for each other. Looking for a way to not feel alone in the world, he joins a support group for "singletons"—a nickname for twins who have lost their sibling—at the urge of his mother Lisa (Lauren Graham). It is there that Roman meets Dennis (writer-director James Sweeney), who is also struggling after losing his twin. A goofy and awkward bromance forms between the two as they attempt to navigate life and process their grief, but will Roman and Dennis' newfound friendship survive the bizarre secret that one of them harbors?

The opening film for this year's Sundance Film Festival and winner of their esteemed Audience Award, 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. You’ll definitely laugh, you’ll probably cry, and there’s a good chance you’ll be looking out for Sweeney’s next project."—Taylor Gates, Collider.
