‘Twinless’ Sundance review: Everybody will be talking about this wild movie

PARK CITY, Utah — The No. 1 movie at this year’s Sundance Film Festival that will have the masses talking when it hits theaters in a few months is “Twinless.” 

Bring an oxygen tank, you’ll be gasping so much. And not always from laughter.

A Sundance debut was a shrewd move for writer-director James Sweeney’s totally unexpected dramedy about two 30-something men who bond over the fact that both of their twins have died. 

The storied cinema locale makes for a mischievous bait-and-switch. 

That’s because you stomp in assuming the flick starring Dylan O’Brien and Sweeney will be the familiar kin of countless other sweet, quirky indies, in which paralyzing grief gives way to hipster joy, that have bowed up here in the Utah mountains. Most of us can recite the plot from memory. There are probably vintage bicycles.

And doesn’t the quick synopsis sound lovely? Two urban people losing their biological other half and filling their seemingly unfillable void with against-type friendship? Even the title comes off like a nice ’90s VHS.
