Geoffrey Macnab

Independent (UK)

This Scottish-made "swingers" film, based on a novel by Ewan Morrison, has some intriguing elements but is undermined by its shifts in tone and approach.

Rated: 2/5

Kevin Maher

Times (UK)

Ewan Morrison's nuanced and thoughtful debut novel Swung is mostly de-fanged in this tentative, trepidatious, big-screen adaptation.

Rated: 2/5

Leslie Felperin

Guardian

This British drama takes an admirable risk in trying to make a serious film about the contemporary swinging scene without resorting to either juvenile sniggering or censoriousness.

Rated: 3/5

Matthew Anderson

CineVue

Although Swung is explicit in its nature and its content, it's neither smutty, depraved nor gratuitous and is anchored around an admirably acted and believable central pairing.

Rated: 3/5

Jennifer Heaton

Alternative Lens

The plot feels unfocused, with various threads unresolved and the moods of our main characters flit on a dime between scenes.

Rated: 4/10

Scotsman

A dull and mostly dour affair, enlivened not one bit by groaning - pun fully intended - descents into kinkiness and smutty innuendo.

Rated: 1/5

It's smart, sexy, and a bit infuriating at times, but definitely worth the watch.
