Sew Torn

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!

Before reviewing this movie I just need to say something about another reviewer, curtispeace, that scored this movie with a two after only watching a couple of minutes of this movie. How can anybody take you seriously? Rating a movie you didn't event watch, why would you waste your time and most importantly our time at writing a review that will take you longer than the time you actually spent on watching the movie? It's beyond ridiculous. I will never understand why negative people have to bash something just to get attention. That said I watched the movie until the end, like I do with all the movies by the way, bad or good. The cinematography was the best thing about Sew Torn, interesting shots for the entire movie. The acting wasn't bad either. The story on the other hand has to be taken not too seriously as every scenario, there are like three, is too ridiculous for words. But it's watchable because of all the other positive things mentioned before.

...if I want to be rigurous (I like giving my honest opinion), some things are off, and I think they could have been presented in a different way.

I should start by saying that I enjoyed the film. Nevertheless, I have to point out that some poeple overact, others underact, and the rest are just there filling gaps in the set... Also, I have to admit that I did not quite know what was heppning until half of the "second act" (so to speak). This is a compliment to the writers.

What I don't like is that although the story is totally belieavable and easy to put in context, some of the situtions whithin the scenes are just out of place... in a belieavable scenery, some interactions are totally surreal and would, for sure, entail a very different development, or outcome.

You either make a fable or a portrait, meaning, it's fiction or fact, but mixing both, rarely ends well...

I did not know any of the actors/actresses, and I hope this doesn't disqualify me as a movie buff (I went over their careers and saw nothing I knew... I apologize for my ignorance), and, apart from the main character, who is extremely expressive and intense, the other are just there, stop.

Watch it, it's worth it, but it could have been better.

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.

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!
