‘Twinless’ Review: Dylan O’Brien Mourns His Dead Twin In James Sweeney’s Heartfelt & Unhinged Comedy — Sundance Film Festival


In James Sweeney's sophomore feature 'Twinless', he navigates loneliness, anxiety, depression and other common millennial pastimes.

In writer, director and actor James Sweeney ‘s sophomore feature, he navigates loneliness, anxiety, depression and other common millennial pastimes through an equally comedic and heartfelt arc… complete with a few “WTF” moments. O’Brien and Sweeney have a comedic chemistry that cannot be denied, with the former alternating between the emotionally insecure and naive Roman, as well as his muscled, mustachioed, hunky twin Rocky, who evokes too many run-ins with “mean gays” who are just as misunderstood as the next. As a talented multihyphenate, Sweeney unpacks the most nuanced scenarios fraught with the universal emotions of being rejected, losing a loved one and feeling like your other half just doesn’t exist.
