Twinless (15)

2025 USA

Dir. James Sweeney

When we watched this film at previews in November, one of our team wrote: “This is an extraordinary film. Beautifully shot, directed, acted. Very moving with unexpected twists. Made me think a lot, definitely one for us”.

This under-the-radar film is a highly original, Sundance Audience Award-winning dark comedy about grief from Straight Up writer-director James Sweeney, who also co-stars.

After the death of his identical twin brother, Roman joins a support group for bereaved twins where he meets Dennis. Both searching for solace and a sense of identity without their other halves, they quickly become close, but when Roman meets Dennis’s ebullient colleague Marcie, all is revealed to be not what it seems.

Clever, graphic and disarmingly funny – Twinless is an exhilaratingly wild ride that takes you to surprising places.

Tickets for this film are £6 (£1 child/student) available on the door or in advance from the Buxton Opera House box-office
