Winner of the Audience Award for U.S. Dramatic Competition at Sundance, this stirring, whip-smart, wholly original dark comedy is best experienced by knowing as little as possible beforehand.
After meeting in a twin bereavement support group, Roman (Dylan O'Brien,
Teen Wolf) and Dennis (writer-director James Sweeney;
Straight Up, MGFF20) develop an unlikely bromance as they both search for solace and an identity without their better halves. They soon become inseparable, but old wounds reopen that will have permanent consequences for their friendship. With razor-sharp wit and impeccable comic timing, the film delivers a hilariously twisted look at identity, intimacy, and the emotional chaos of modern relationships.
Dylan O’Brien’s performance won him the 2025 Sundance U.S. Dramatic Special Jury Award for Acting, alongside a stellar supporting cast that includes Lauren Graham (
Gilmore Girls), Aisling Franciosi (
The Nightingale), Chris Perfetti (
Abbott Elementary), François Arnaud (
The Borgias) and Susan Park (
Fresh Off the Boat).
