February
by Adam Mars-Jones
Mars-Jones’s “story of low self-esteem” is a kinky yet tender coming-of-age story about Colin, a shy young British man who meets an assured older biker, Ray, and tumbles into an eye-opening love affair with the leather-clad dom. For the film adaptation, “Pillion,” Harry Melling plays the wide-eyed Colin while Alexander Skarsgard, as Ray, shows him the (literal and figurative) ropes.
“Pillion” premieres in theaters on Feb. 6.
