Twinless

the script is too honest to be comforting, too funny to be tragedy. it sits in the exact middle, like grief does.

eu esperava outra coisa totalmente diferente. o que o dennis fez foi completamente errado e isso não tem o que discutir, é algo que eu provavelmente não perdoaria nunca. eu, porém, entendo o porquê dele ter feito isso, mesmo não compactuando com as mesmas ideias. fora desse quesito acho até que somos muito parecidos em algumas formas de pensar, mas nada além disso… também não me perdoaria se tivesse “matado” alguém. já o roman é uma pessoa muito difícil de lidar, principalmente quando está tendo seus ataques de raiva. é extremamente difícil o momento que ele está passando e ainda aparece alguém como o dennis só pra piorar as coisas, mas depois ele parece perdoar e voltam a serem amigos. também me identifiquei com ele em certos aspectos. a marcie que é o completo oposto do roman provavelmente vai ter dificuldades com o casamento, acho até que não vai durar muito. ela é muito boa pra ele e não merece ter um círculo de convivência em que o dennis esteja presente pq ele claramente não gosta dela e esse tipo de “amizade” é a pior que tem. enfim, ambos os protagonistas tem seus defeitos, mas botando isso de lado eles acabam formando um laço admirável e invejável de amizade. me colocando nessa situação eu sem dúvidas me apaixonaria pelo roman e provavelmente pelo rocky.

For this night, I can't believe That it's finally me and you, and you and me. Just us, and your friend Dennis Do-do-do-do-do-do, Dennis. In this movie Dennis is just like annoying, selfish third wheeler, i can't stan him. He's not Rocky, and you can't act he's Rocky, move on i guess? Maybe if this movie just only Roman / Dennis relationship i can take it, but when Marcie came, i can't stand Dennis behaviour. That's why i hate when gay movie make woman involved too. But overall it's a fresh good movie!

Twinless

Imagine meeting a guy you connect with in such an intimate way, someone who shares your grief from their own shoes. Someone who seems to understand you without you having to explain yourself too much. And then, only later, when you’re already getting along incredibly well, they reveal that they were never honest with you: that they invented a tragic story just to connect, out of the need to feel attachment and an emotional reciprocity they didn’t know how to obtain any other way. Well… just like James Sweeney playing Dennis, I could be that friend. Twinless is a dark comedy with a message that feels as raw as it is realistic. There is no romanticism in pain, only discomfort, selfishness, and a desperate need not to be alone. Sweeney understands this tone perfectly and knows how to guide Dylan O’Brien toward a vulnerable, restrained place. And yes, without exaggeration, this is by far the best role of his career. The relationship with grief, selfishness, depersonalization, and the emptiness of loneliness constantly move between both characters; it is an uncomfortable dance that travels from Dennis’s guilt to Roman’s emotional progress. Visually, it feels mundane, close, even comfortable within what a dark comedy can allow itself. There is a deep complexity in presenting characters who take advantage of someone else’s grief to try to heal their own, different but not invalid because of it. And many times the problem isn’t looking for a way to get over something, but how we do it: whether by dragging along a lie that sooner or later will collapse under its own weight, or by dealing with an internal guilt, painful but honest, in order to seek support within oneself and only then, in others.
