Maybe this will finally get people to toss aside 50 Shades of Grey and stop thinking of it as a good representation of a BDSM relationship. It is not. In fact, those words should not even exist close together. BDSM is not based just on power, or sex. A true BDSM relationship is based on a specific amount of trust the parties involved must have in each other. Simply put: BDSM is consent kink.
Pillion takes us into the lives of two very different people. There’s Colin (Harry Melling), a somewhat quiet and reserved man working a dead-end job and supplementing his nights singing in a barbershop quartet at a local pub. Ray (Alexander Skarsgard) is a mysterious, leather-clad biker. On the surface, it appears as if they would have nothing in common, aside from an obvious instant mutual attraction.
