The Swearing Jar

I would concur with the other reviews here, this was an amazing gem of a movie, that beautifully written and filmed.

I came into the theatre expecting one specific journey and was presented with a different one that ultimately spoke to my heart. The actors charmed me throughout the entire story which proved to be funny, painful, soulful and entertaining. All the feels are happening here.

Also, a shout out for the casting of Kathleen Turner who we do not nearly get to see enough of these days.

I would definitely recommend a having a box of tissue handy for this one, as well as a glass of champagne.

Someone else reviewed this film and likened it to a Hallmark movie. I can only surmise they have never seen a Hallmark movie because there is no similarity whatsoever.

It's a beautifully crafted set of snapshots of all the places we go as people during our relationships. It shows us our strengths and our weaknesses, it shows that life has one course to lead but many adventures along the way and we have to embrace everything we can and let go of all that we can too.

Clemens is beautiful in this film, she truly is the epitome of Carey: of all women living Carey's life. She reminds me of a young Michelle Williams. Raw, but cleverly raw.

The direction and dialogue is superb, and I watched it all in one go which is rare for me. If you sometimes wonder about life and love and death and loss, watch this.

Went in expecting a generic movie and came away being blown away. The acting and cinematography is above the majority of movies out there and the script makes it very believable.

I've never lived through a situation like the one that is portrayed in the movie, but if you have I can just imagine how hard hitting this film is.

It's not happy, sad or funny, it's just about life. I highly recommend it.

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.

It is not terribly bad, (honest), but it IS terribly bland and overly sentimental. It's the Hallmark kind of movie genre, with lots (and LOTS) of sugarcoated, cringeworthy sentimental lovey dovey scenes with guitar playing and hair stroking and being insecure if the other one loves your or not. Oh gosh!

In the end my wife wasnt thrilled by it either and I frankly was glad it was over. Because there is only so much sentimental stuff I can stumach in 1 year and after having seen this movie I have reached my limit of intake of sentimental lovey dovey stuff.

I do like other romantic movies, PROVIDED they have got some spark and punch, PROVIDED they are funny. OR when they are not funny, PROVIDED they have genuine drama.

This movie has none of the positives from above. What is it then? It's firstmost completely BLAND and DULL.

Only recommended for the Hallmark movie fans...
