neutral · AI labelView post →Pillion is a great film about why you shouldn‘t be dating emotionally unavailable people but will do it anyway if they look like Alexander Skarsgard

positive · AI labelView post →The posters for Harry Lighton’s ‘PILLION’ have been released. The film follows Colin (Harry Melling) as Ray (Alexander Skarsgård), leader of a motorbike club, takes him on as his submissive.

neutral · AI labelView post →Had to wear a little leather going to see Pillion! Especially in Berlin. Good movie if you haven’t seen it. I realised today that you can always spot me a mile away when I’m at any gay event in Berlin because everyone’s in black and I’m just a walking ball of colour! Happy Easter!

neutral · AI labelView post →PILLION is a movie about two men in a BDSM relationship. I’m not from that community so I can’t speak to how well it’s captured, but as a viewer I found the film to be intense, beautiful, heartbreaking, and exuberant (also: extremely graphic). I cried! Not everyone can connect in the same way.

Getting called down by Alexander Skarsgård and Harry Melling to join them for the applause after the credits was Surreal! And yes!!! That is me and Pedro Pascal!
positive · AI labelView post →Like other queer movies (e.g. All of Us Strangers), the brilliant Pillion looks likely to be overlooked at the Oscars this year - but bravo the BAFTAs, where it has been longlisted for 5 awards, including Best British Film. Harry Melling and Alexander Skarsgård are up for Actor and Supporting Actor.

neutral · AI labelView post →watched the hot gay biker movie Pillion... it was nice and OK -- I suspect the problem is that alexander skarsgard is just way too hot, it overwhelms his acting ability, he can't sell this very implausible infatuation with a musical nerd idk
neutral · AI labelView post →Pillion was a weird beautiful upsetting movie. Alexander Skarsgård was great in it. And this interview with Skarsgård, where he fake-proposes marriage to his male interviewer, is weird and wonderful: www.anothermag.com/fashion-beau...

Love the gear but you will probably never catch me on a bike either! Camping out and shagging in the woods though? Hmm!
