More about Pillion
Director: Harry Lighton
Starring: Alexander Skarsgård, Harry Melling, Lesley Sharp, Douglas Hodge
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.
“Pillion is a wonderful film that’s heavy with purpose… All that and it’s also very, very hot.”★★★★★ Time Out
“It’s basically what Fifty Shades of Grey should have been.” ★★★★ The Guardian
“Melling’s high-wire skill at cycling between elation and sadness keeps the film resolutely grounded. It’s a triumphant risk to have taken, and very much the performance of his career to date.” ★★★★ The Daily Telegraph
“It’s knotty stuff for a first film but Lighton finds a delicate balance between disturbing, funny, sweet and sad.” ★★★★ The Times
“Pillion lets audiences encounter every shade of explicit without veering into hardcore territory… Solely shocking viewers is not the point. Instead we’re immersed in a vivid relationship that leaves its mark after the credits roll.” ★★★★ metro.co.uk
