The title refers to the passenger seat on a motorcycle. This is where the young sub (Harry Melling) sits when he rides with his dom (Alexander Skarsgård). This original take on a romance revolves around the world of BDSM. It starts with the duo’s chemistry, which is electric from the first scene. Skarsgård creates a distant character with plenty of sex appeal, while Melling is constantly compelling as he navigates his new sexual actualization. The few sex scenes are erotic and kinda mean, but there are also moments of humor and genuine warmth. Their relationship is original, complex and ultimately poignant, which makes this a complex and very human relationship story.
