Twinless Wins Big at Sundance Amid Piracy Issues

The film 'Twinless,' starring Dylan O'Brien and directed by James Sweeney, premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival to critical acclaim, winning the Audience Award for a U.S. dramatic film. Despite its success, it was pulled from Sundance's online platform due to piracy issues, with major plot spoilers and scenes leaked online, similar to the documentary 'Selena y Los Dinos.' 'Twinless' explores themes of grief, loss, and friendship, with O'Brien playing dual roles as twin brothers. The film has been praised for its humor and emotional depth, addressing complex themes like codependency and trauma bonding. Sundance and the filmmakers regret the inconvenience caused to online viewers but emphasize their commitment to protecting independent films. O'Brien also received the U.S. Dramatic Special Jury Award for Acting, marking another highlight in his career.
