Film Information

From writer-director Harry Lighton, making his feature debut, comes a romantic, funny, thoroughly unconventional love story, following two men who express desire in ways rarely depicted on the big-screen.

Based on the novel Box Hill by Adam Mars-Jones, Pillion stars Harry Melling as Colin, a timid traffic warden from the suburbs, and Alexander Skarsgård as Ray, the enigmatic, Adonis-like leader of a gay motorcycle gang. When hyper-dominant Ray takes on the inexperienced Colin as his submissive, the improbable duo become partners in a complex arrangement that forces both parties to test the boundaries of what may or may not be real love.

Reviews

“Kinky as hell and also extremely romantic. That’s not a combo a lot of movies go for nowadays, let alone pull off this beautifully, and that makes Pillion something of a miracle.”

William Bibbiani
TheWrap

“With screenwriter/director Harry Lighton’s keen awareness of power dynamics within a couple, the script’s choice to celebrate rather than judge, and Skarsgård’s magnetic performance and Melling’s sensitive one, Pillion is a racy but compassionate romance.”

Thelma Adams
AARP Movies for Grownups

“Pillion is often very funny without ever kinkshaming, thanks to the wry script, Skarsgård’s deadpan, and Melling’s guilelessness. And while there is heartbreak involved the film is also genuinely uplifting.”

Esther Zuckerman
