Sew Torn

Like the thread contraptions and what little sewing we see, the comedy is a bit, well, threadbare, while the full garment of the film lacks the finishing on the seams that would make it satisfying and professional-looking.

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.

'Pushing Daisies' meets 'Run Lola Run' — you won't want to miss this quirky crime comedy.

While Connolly is great as the resourceful dressmaker, it’s the supporting ensemble of weird and wonderful characters which makes Sew Torn shine.

A strong turn from Irish actor John Lynch as the head gangster, a genuine sense of style, and a satisfying ending sugar the pill.

How, exactly, could a film be so closely themed around, of all things, seamstressing? Well, it is. It really, really is. It’s also a varied, funny crime drama which manages to incorporate elements of existential fantasy along the way.

The film ends up weaving an overly-complicated narrative web however it is still a pretty darn good time.

Sew Torn is a delightfully idiosyncratic crime thriller that strings together compelling themes, humorously odd visuals, and a magnetic central performance.

Although it has the occasional misstep along the way, Sew Torn is a remarkable feature debut that’s as imaginative as it is weird.

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.
