‘Pillion’ Review: Edgy Queer Romance Stars Alexander Skarsgård as a Sexy Biker and Harry Melling as His Budding Submissive
Director Harry Lighton’s BDSM-themed feature debut, 'Pillion,' may be light on dialogue, but is startlingly revealing in all other respects.
Although “Pillion” provides no insights into Colin’s proclivities before Ray enters his life, it’s safe to say that hooking up in a dark alley, licking a pair of rubber boots and otherwise being bossed around is wilder than any fantasy his limited imagination was capable of. The former child actor began his career playing the insufferable Dudley Dursley in the “Harry Potter” franchise, and though he’s shockingly skinny by comparison here, it actually helps to think of him as a former fat kid — the sort of endearingly insecure fellow who doesn’t recognize what a catch he might be. His mother, Peggy (Lesley Sharp), knows it, and she doesn’t hesitate to stick her nose into Colin’s new relationship, especially after her only son shaves his curly hair (which she’d always considered his best feature) and starts wearing a padlocked steel chain around his neck.
