SPOILERS: I have now also watched Twinless, James Sweeney's perfect crime.

Last year, Michel raved about this Sundance favourite when it premiered at Tribeca, and the premise seemed intriguing. James Sweeney had managed to get Dylan O'Brien to play opposite him in a film about lying about having a twin.Twinless is a beautiful and emotional portrait of grief, to be sure, but one absolutely saturated with black comedy, to the point of internal cringing on my part, but in the absolute best way.

What the film is actually about, in the classic sense, is yearning – for the hookup that never went anywhere, for the closure none of us ever get to have in life, for the straight boy we lose to the nice girl over and over again until heat death.For what it's doing, the premise is genius - not only does James Sweeney get to have fictional gay sex with Dylan O'Brien, but then gets to play the most likable demon twink (Michel's words, apt) ever committed to camera.

As the future of Queer cinema seems ever connected to the past, this was actually really freakin' refreshing, grounded, and clear about what it was trying to communicate - a very specific feeling of isolation that feels unmoored from any historical "importance". The mortifying ordeal of not having anyone to love, and also being gay, and not looking like Dylan O'Brien.

Will it make you think? Actually, yes, but all of that heavy thinking will happen in the background of your mind, as you enjoy the absurd melodrama of it all. Really, what I loved about it was the seriousness with which it decided to be wacky - reminded me a lot of another Queer Cinema Legend of Asian descent, Gregg Araki. No random bug aliens in this one, though, bummer. Next time.I have almost typed "Twinkless" 3 times while writing this.

TWINLESS is in UK & Irish cinemas 6 February. For cinemas visit: PARK CIRCUS
