60% Informative

Twinless is a probing and personal dramedy about men and loneliness and grief’s hollow aftermath.

Writer-director James Sweeney , who also co-stars, deftly stitches those fabrics into something new.

The movie centers on two 30ish men, Roman ( Dylan O’Brien ) and Denis (Sweeney) who unite in grief over their brothers.

As Roman , O’Brien manages the delicate calibration of a guy who is bruised, dopey, friendly, dangerous.

Like Channing Tatum before him, he intriguingly complicates the archetype of the clumsy, lovable brute, but from a flintier angle of attack.

In the never-ending debate about whether straight actors can or should play gay, O'Brien is a fine testament to the pro side of the argument.
