    Original & Different

    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.

    it's Sew Torn

    I initially expected a concise story but the film proved to be longer due to its inclusion of an alternate ending. What makes it interesting is that it has some other endings, consequences for what she does and she says "choices, choices, choices." It shows what happens if she does it or doesn't do it. The atmosphere of the place where the film was made is very beautiful, way I see the surroundings are quite comfortable with the vibe of the environmental sounds are also comfortable to hear. The film skillfully blends elements of survival and subtle humor, achieving a well balanced tone and creative when they use impossible ideas because it may be a little illogical but yes I really like it. The casting choices for this film were highly effective, with several recognizable actors delivering performances that perfectly complemented the story. I recommend it to everyone who hasn't watched it. This is very worth spending your free time with popcorn.

    ABSOLUTELY worth watching!

    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!

    Maybe worth a little more, but...

    ...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.

    Why review a movie you didn't watch? What's the point?

    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.
