The Swearing Jar

... she's entering into an emotional-affair with an ordinary guy who's working in a bookstore where they meet... little by little she keeps getting deeper into attachment-bonding... the film is all about secrets-kept and lies on the edge, and not only by her

... it's a fairly decent little film, well-acted-produced (every time seeing her, thinking of another well accomplished actor she has lots of similar mannerisms-delivery-appearance) ... yes, this film's a bit confusing, with a couple of time-situation-jumps... maybe it's one worth another look at once some time passes to help clear some things up.

This was , a film about love and relationship, swearing and promising, secrets and decieft, loss and pain, periodplanning and having a baby, a film about life and death, hormonal imbalance and deadly disease, and not to forget the importance of having a family, however bad it is.

A small casted but ever so filled with beautifulness, faces that i wont easy forget, especially ms.clemmens, cause she really reminded me about someone that i used to know.

Its a film about how priceless life is when youre in the turmoil of living it, and testifyes how shortlived life is. So grab your dear ones by the hand and live out your desires, because therell be a day when it all ends, very abrubt and senseless...

a well interpreted script from a novel that isnt to well known internationally, nevertheless they cant rip away the fact that this is a production that contains near perfect harmony, the cast is merely perfect for the caracters, and the musical score and vocal talents of ms. Clemmens is just unbelievable...

i might sound like a baptized grumpy old man that usually hates romcoms, but when it comes with twists and turns that are so earthshakingly shocking as in this feature movie there are no other way round than ...SEE THIS... i will for sure bring my wife in for a 2nd look, have allready bougt a kolli of kleenex, cause, yeah , its that kind of movie. Simply perfect and dug deep in m,y sole.

This movie is like watching a play, and is full of true human nuance of emotions. Extremely relatable brilliant moments explored: humor, pain, awkwardness, and especially love: all delivered by extremely talented actors. The plot pulls at the heart strings, is intriguing, strange and fun. Enjoying, and sinking into a movie like this is what life is about. My boyfriend and I were glued to the string and really appreciated the authenticity in the performances. Kathleen Turner is an absolute channeler and sweeps you up into this world. Adelaide Clemens is mesmerizing, hilarious, and makes an absolutely flawed character, lovable, understandable, and so human.

Honestly what a lovely surprise. It wasn't anything I expected and we all loved this movie. You know how you sometimes see. Movie and think to yourself that you're going to see a these actors a bunch more going forward? I remember thinking that in Boogie Nites. I expect the same to be true with this one. Wiithout a doubt I expect to see a these actors and director more over the next few years. I had a some idea going in cause I'd also heard the play was fantastic.

Not to mention that as much of a nerd as I am I was so happy to not see another marvel movie. More movies like Swearing Jar please!

This actually develops into a touching and complex story. But it takes a while to clarify the lines, so that if feels like nothing is quite happening for a little too long (despite some very original pieces right at the start). I'm not sure how much the unresolved confusion is meant to put the viewer off the track and how much is failure to think through the exposition, but I almost bowed out early a number of times. The story as it shapes up touches on some important themes of grief and recovery, but then it becomes a little predictable as well. It's also true that the moment Katherine Turner comes in she is so much stronger a presence than anyone else that it puts the otherwise engaging indie actors at a disadvantage. There is some good music, well-placed, but it only comes in and out. It never quite defines the tone.
