“Sew Torn” (** out of four) was an ungainly comic melodrama about a seamstress (Eve Connolly) who takes a briefcase that she finds from a drug deal gone wrong and has to play a livewire game of cat-and-mouse with the small-time drug dealer (Callum Worthy) who it belonged to with a multitude of consequences for both of them. Writer/director Freddy Macdonald works in an off-the-wall style that harks back to early Peter Jackson (“Bad Taste” and “Dead/Alive” especially) but it soon runs thin and wears out after a while. Even still, this won the Baia del Silenzio-Redelfi award for Best Film at the 2025 Riviera International Film Festival.
