Pillion is a 2025 romantic black comedy drama film written and directed by Harry Lighton, based on the 2020 novel Box Hill by Adam Mars-Jones.Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair wrote: "Pillion gives little indication that Lighton is a first-time feature director. The film is confidently staged and handsomely styled, elegantly gliding through Colin and Ray's adventure (or misadventure) with a keen eye for detail and texture.
Pillion, which explores a relationship between dom Ray (Alexander Skarsgård) and submissive Colin (Harry Melling), has just opened in UK cinemas. But how realistic is its portrayal of a group little seen in mainstream cinema?I take my hat off to [director] Harry [Lighton] for having the balls to make this film. I think it’s funny, really thought-provoking, and it sheds a lot of light on the way relationships in our leather community work. There are so many moments in the film that touched my heart.
