Wallflower Colin (Harry Melling) leads a humdrum existence until he meets the impossibly handsome Ray (Alexander Skarsgård), a mysterious biker he is soon desperately devoted to.
As Colin submits to Ray and enters an exciting new world of desire, he must decide the limits of his devotion.
Hilarious, subversive and sexy, PILLION is the acclaimed and surprisingly tender love story from writer-director Harry Lighton, starring Melling and Skarsgård in fearless performances as a mild young man and his leather-clad lover.
Roger Ebert – “Pillion is a quietly devastating ode to the power of that self-discovery, a reminder that perhaps one of life’s greatest tragedies is that we can’t always remain in a relationship with the people we learn the most valuable lessons from.” (full review here)
In Review Online – “It’s to the director’s credit that, in uncovering an optimistic take on thorny narrative material, he manages to do so with both sexual frankness and genuine warmth.” (full review here)
Little White Lies – “Pillion understands the excruciating vulnerability of vocalising desire both sexual and emotional, realised on-screen with some of the most erotic and uninhibited sex scenes in recent memory.” (full review here)
