Pillion Trailer: Alexander Skarsgård and Harry Melling Enter an Unexpected Love Story
A romance unlike anything else on-screen this year, Harry Lighton’s *Pillion* is both moving and shocking, delving into a dom-sub relationship within the gay biker scene. Starring Harry Melling and Alexander Skarsgård, A24 has released the first trailer ahead of its premiere at the 63rd New York Film Festival and a theatrical release planned for early 2026 in February.
In his review, Zhuo-Ning Su remarked, “A good scandal film is essential at Cannes. For 2025, British filmmaker Harry Lighton’s feature debut *Pillion* may be the one that leaves the most viewers in shock. Focusing on a dom-sub relationship in the gay biker community, it showcases fetishistic sexual acts that might unsettle some. However, it would be unfortunate if the kinks and shock value overshadow everything else—Lighton has crafted a genuinely provocative anti-romance that’s humorous, sincere, and unexpectedly heartwarming. This exceptional balancing act makes *Pillion* an unlikely crowd-pleaser.”
