Sew Torn

It was original but I didn't enjoy it; offbeat to the point of being static. Fans of intricate problem solving by way of needle and thread will love it.

I realise my reviews are not allowed to be as succinct as I would like, due to imdb's minimum length requirement...

Please ignore the following waffle that attempts to fill the remaining required characters, while acknowledging that reviews can perhaps be just as effective with fewer words. Really, I should use needle and thread contraption to type this, though I fear that may be interpretted as critique of the movie rather than placeholder.

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!

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!

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.

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.
