53s
In the Wake TV Producers Shayna and Julia break down Twinless, a groundbreaking film that masterfully blends sharp comedy with raw emotional truth. This Sundance Film Festival double-award winner—taking home both the US Dramatic Special Jury Award for Acting and the coveted Audience Award—tells the story of two young men navigating the complex terrain of loss, loneliness, and unexpected friendship after meeting in a twin bereavement support group.
Writer-director-actor James Sweeney delivers a bittersweet narrative that doesn't shy away from the hard stuff: trauma-bonding, codependency, and the desperate human need for connection. Dylan O'Brien (Ponyboi) continues his reign as one of the most compelling actors of his generation, showcasing incredible range as he moves between the film's comedic beats and its tender, vulnerable moments.
Why This Film Matters: Twinless represents the kind of authentic, emotionally intelligent storytelling that resonates across all communities. It's a film about finding your people when you feel most alone—exploring universal themes of grief, mental health, and modern masculinity with unflinching honesty.
