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.

...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.

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!

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.

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!
