Sew Torn

I liked the film.

It was original and slightly different, which was refreshing. The story was predictable at points (most points), but I was left questioning where it was going for the first portion of the film.

Actors and actresses were all very decent, enjoyed the lead actress despite never having heard of her or seen her in film before.

The filming style of the film was nice and at times exaggerated the small/quaint town feeling. However, the lack of extras at times made it feel very eery and a bit too quiet.

Loved the ending of the film and the fact the film told several different stories.

Very original story, great acting and an exciting cinematography. Highly recommend! The Swiss scenery is just stunning. Whoever came up with the ideas of threads (an integral part of the story, but you have to see it for yourself) is one creative fellow! What would you do if you came across a drug deal gone bad? That is the main protagonist Barbara's lifechanging task. Another perk of the movie are the two female supporting characters: a middle-aged bride and a cop long past the regular retirement age. You're in for some laughs with these ones! I can't wait to see what's coming next from this creative film team!

An enjoyable off-beat movie. Without giving anything away it's a multiple possibilities story. I had a bit of trouble with the director's choices at times but otherwise it maintained a quick pace with interesting action. All the actors do a nice job but Connolly clearly stands out. Though she doesn't appear to have a huge body of work she clearly knows what she is doing. Despite not having a huge amount of dialogue she expresses her thoughts well. She is very engaging and I hope we see more of her.

If you get a chance to see it go for it, you won't be disappointed. It's one of those movies that works well for it's type.

With this clever film, young director Freddy Macdonald delivers an astonishing feature debut. Everything seems to work in this piece, from strong cast performances to an insane level of detail regarding the resourceful thread skills of Barbara, the main protagonist. As she encounters a botched drug deal and has to decide what to do, we follow her on paths that lead to different outcomes. The brilliant script by father-son duo Freddy and Fred Macdonald, beautiful cinematography by Sebastian Klinger and overall superb production design make for a fun, entertaining ride that keeps you engaged throughout its 90+ minute runtime. Eve Connolly, the lead actor, is definitely someone worth watching out for.

ABSOLUTELY worth watching!

Sew Torn is an intelligent, masterfully crafted film that combines the best of both worlds-a high-quality action/thriller with the spirit and class of a true indie gem.

I first saw the short film that led to the feature and was blown away by the beautifully developed story. This movie keeps its audience guessing until the very end while providing just enough revelations to leave you satisfied. I've been searching for an original movie that keeps both the story and characters at its core for a long time, and I'm thrilled to have found that in Sew Torn.

Freddy Macdonald's exceptional direction shines through the performances and the precision of every meticulously crafted frame. Each shot feels like a work of art, uniquely painted and indispensable. It's rare in today's fast-paced, and often "cookie-cutter", movie industry to see such attention to detail.

Sew Torn is a breath of fresh air-engaging, thought-provoking, and immensely entertaining. The question, "What path would you choose?" has lingered with me ever since watching.

I wholeheartedly recommend this film to fans of thrillers, mysteries, action, and indie cinema. And if you love Coen Brothers movies? Sew Torn is a must-watch!
