Barbara Duggen, 'The Mobile Seamstress', is struggling to keep her fabric shop alive. After a botched sewing appointment sets her on a quest to replace her client's lost button, she unexpectedly stumbles upon a drug deal gone bad. Faced with two downed motorcyclists, guns, and a briefcase -- Barbara is completely torn. She is forced to pick between three choices: commit the perfect crime, call the police, or drive away. The narrative presents the repercussions of all three decisions, and the deadly confrontations that result from each as she gets entangled with the case's owner. Using thread to free herself, Barbara stops at nothing to save her store.

Some will thrill to the film’s silliness, others may find it a joke stretched beyond elasticity, but it’ll have many putting a pin in Macdonald’s name.

Sew Torn is ultimately more about the journey than it is the destination, and viewers who can get on its inventive wavelength will be delivered a certifiably good time.

Macdonald is an excellent visual storyteller and despite some minor amateurish mistakes, this dark comedy thriller offers a fun, unique take on a multi-layered story about the choices we make.

Elements of Madness

Choices, choices, choices – and all of [director Freddy] Macdonald’s bring us to this darkly hilarious examination of the connective tissue of choice as a reaction to grief, loss, fear, hope, and freedom.

Rated: 4/5
