Twinless follows Roman (Dylan O’Brien), a man grappling with the sudden and devastating loss of his identical twin brother, Rocky—also portrayed by O’Brien. After the funeral, Roman seeks solace and community by attending a support group designed specifically for individuals who have lost their twin. It’s there he meets Dennis (James Sweeney), another man navigating the void left by a missing other half. Though strikingly different—Dennis is cultured, sensitive, and openly gay, while Roman is more laid-back and unpolished—the pair strike up an unexpected and intense bond rooted in shared grief.
“A probing and personal dramedy about men and loneliness and grief’s hollow aftermath. Twinless announces the ascendancy of a thrilling filmmaker.” – Vanity Fair
“A bizarrely moving and darkly comic story about feeling like you’ve lost something you never had.” —Rocco T. Thompson, Slant
