Sundance film festival: James Sweeney’s tightrope-mastering mix of genres and tones is an incredibly effective feat, veering from funny to creepy to devastatingly sad. Benjamin Lee.B efore the start of Twinless, a classic Sundance curio with very little known about what it was or where it came from, the writer, director and star James Sweeney was unusually withholding. The creator of 2019’s micro-budget comedy Straight Up wanted us to experience it without a detailed introduction, avoiding an earnest ramble about his intentions or hopes.
Twinless is weird, hilarious, unhinged and bizarre and simultaneously heartfelt, earnest and emotionally devastating. It’s a fascinating character study about isolation, grief, guilt, and queer identity and the relationships in life that change us.
