Director\/Editor\/co-writer Freddy Macdonald<\/a> gives us the 2024 Comedy\/Thriller Sew Torn<\/em><\/strong>. Initially, it feels like shades of 1998\u2019s Run Lola Run<\/strong><\/em>. However, once you get past the first moments of the film, other movies creep in. Groundhog Day<\/strong><\/em>, being one, a certain element of No Country for Old Men<\/strong><\/em> is another. Although there are touches here and there, nothing really prepares you for the sheer feyness of the film. *Freddy shares writing credit with his father Fred<\/a>.*<\/p>\n From the music, a mix of instruments that includes a musical saw, to the varying degrees of morality dressed up as fairytale wonderland; i.e. the locale and the plots, Sew Torn<\/em><\/strong> delights.<\/p>\n Per IMDb.com: A seamstress gets tangled in her own thread after stealing a briefcase from a drug deal gone bad. In an escalating game of cat and mouse, her different choices lead to drastically different outcomes along the way.<\/em><\/p>\n Eve Connolly<\/a> is Barbara Duggen.<\/p>\n Calum Worthy<\/a> is Joshua Armitage.<\/p>\n John Lynch<\/a> is Hudson Armitage.<\/p>\n K Callan<\/a> is Ms Engel.<\/p>\n Ron Cook<\/a> is Oskar.<\/p>\n Thomas Douglas<\/a> is Beck.<\/p>\n Caroline Goodall<\/a> is Grace Vessler.<\/p>\n Petra Wright<\/a> is mom.<\/p>\n Barbara is a young seamstress who lost her mum, is losing her mum\u2019s shop and slipping down a slope of unreality. After a horrid experience with a customer, she returns to the shop for a button. On the way, similar to Llewelyn Moss; No Country for Old Men<\/em><\/strong>, she stumbles across a drug deal gone bad. As her voice-over states, \u201cChoices.\u201d <\/p>\n She makes several. Some are quite bad.<\/p>\n The storytelling here is superb. There is a certain ingenuity that amazes. Mostly dealing with cotton, aka; thread. A type of innate cleverness with tying and stringing the cotton. From orchestrating a pulley system to magic with pistols, this part of the tale is impressive and intriguing. <\/p>\n While I felt there was a certain feel, or shadowing of the German Dark Comedic Crime Thriller Run Lola Run<\/em><\/strong> at the start, this soon dissipated. The tale here is more about consequences based upon choices, as Barbara says several times. <\/p>\n Thread also plays a visual part in this story, after watching the film, head on over to YouTube and search for Sew Torn<\/em><\/strong> BTS Featurette. Don\u2019t watch this before you see the film proper, it will spoil things abit. <\/p>\n The setting of the film is Switzerland and this helps sell the fairytale feel to this morality tale. Music, by composer Jacob Tardien<\/a> is delightfully offbeat. At first I thought the wavering notes were from a theremin, that turned out not to be the case. See the BTS featurette for more about the musical score.<\/p>\nSew Torn Story<\/h2>\n
