Often the gimmick of an actor playing twins can become all that is discussed with a film. What Twinless does is give Dylan O’Brien the freedom to play twins Rocky and Roman without making that all the film itself is about.
Star James Sweeney also wrote and directed the film and knowing this gives you a lot of insight into how he works as a creative. Dennis (Sweeney) meets Roman at a support group for people who have lost one of their twins. The group is meant to help each other cope with losing their siblings but Dennis and Roman strike up an unlikely friendship together.
