PILLION
Not Rated (1h 47m)
Romance/Comedy

button to watch trailer
Colin, a timid gay man, is swept off his feet when Ray, an enigmatic and impossibly handsome biker, takes him on as his submissive in a crazy and erotic BDSM-focused relationship. Starring Harry Melling, Alexander Skarsgård. Directed by Harry Lighton.

Paul’s review of PILLION

Neither the original book nor this film offers an easy entry point into gay cinema. It’s intense, provocative, and arguably one of the best films you’ll see all year.

You can leave your imagination at home. You won't need it. However, your loving stewards at The Darkside Cinema don't enjoy watching patrons flee an uncomfortable movie experience, but we trust our audience to do their homework before committing to a film that might send the squeamish into the priesthood. Of course, for most of our regulars, this is like chasing away ants with honey.

A love story and dark comedy centered on a gay BDSM relationship isn't something you've likely encountered or perhaps considered before. Director Harry Lighton (Wren Boys and Pompei) has cast Alexander Skarsgård (Murderbot) and Harry Melling (Harry Potter) to explore the power dynamics between Ray (the Alpha) and Colin (the Omega). Hilarious, right? 

Beneath the surface, however, is a deeper exploration of relationships within relationships. Colin's parents (Douglas Hodge and Lesley Sharp, two actors who never miss a beat) are monuments to the parenting of queer children.
