"In Twinless, two grief-stricken, lonely young men realise that they are perfect opposites. One is gay and the other is straight, though the latter did kiss a man once. This is Dennis (the film's writer-director James Sweeney) and Roman ( Dylan O'Brien), respectively, who are united in the throes of grief after the death of their identical twin siblings. Sweeney's psychological comedy is an intimate character study that explores the power of male loneliness and the extremes it can lead to."
"Reeling from the loss of Rocky, Roman joins a twin bereavement support group. There, he meets fellow twinless twin Dennis. Trauma bonding over the shared nuance of their grief, they understand the exact emotional turmoil the other is experiencing surrounding the loss of their familial other half. It's not long before the distance between them closes and they embark on an awkward friendship turned bromance."
"Their codependency quickly snowballs. Though Dennis is not the only new person in Roman's life, he meets Marcie (Aisling Franciosi), a sweet receptionist at Dennis' office, who gives Roman another reason to smile. Twinless' quirky exterior gives way to something entirely more intense. However, time and time again, it is Dennis that Roman returns to. They've coagulated into one being, parasitical with each other. In one scene, Dennis offers himself up as a Rocky stand-in, so Roman can vent and say what he wishes he"
Twinless follows Roman and Dennis, two young men grieving the deaths of their identical twin siblings. Roman mourns Rocky, his confident, cultured gay twin who was his mother's favourite and the built-in best friend he now misses. Dennis, a fellow twinless twin, bonds with Roman at a twin bereavement support group through trauma bonding and shared emotional nuance. Their relationship evolves into an awkward friendship turned bromance and then a parasitical codependency marked by shared routines and road trips that resemble dates. Brief solace with Marcie appears, but Roman repeatedly returns to Dennis, revealing deep male loneliness and psychological extremes.
