Overview

• Written, directed and co-starring James Sweeney, the Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions release opened Sept. 5 following its Sundance premiere.
• Critics broadly praise Dylan O’Brien’s range in dual roles as Roman and Rocky and commend Sweeney’s assured blend of dark comedy, drama, and thriller tones.
• The film follows two men who connect in a twin bereavement group, with reviewers noting unpredictable turns delivered through thoughtful visual style.
• At the Los Angeles premiere, O’Brien and Sweeney called the online posting of sex scenes “demoralizing,” after Sundance removed the title from its streaming platform over piracy.
• The R-rated feature also stars Aisling Franciosi, Lauren Graham, Tasha Smith and Chris Perfetti, and early reviews recommend it despite some notes on pacing and performance balance.
