It's a forceful debut from Kapsalis, but, wow, it is harrowing.
October 29, 2020 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review… -
A relentlessly unshakable albeit unpleasant ride, particularly when filmmaker Dean Kapsalis slaloms around audience expectation, something he skillfully accomplishes for the first two-thirds of the picture.
October 27, 2020 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… -
The power of The Swerve is that it doesn't paint a full-blown breakdown - in this case, one that results in an unbearable tragedy - as easily traced back to one moment.
October 2, 2020 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review… -
Azura Skye's tremendous performance [is] as unblinkingly honest as anything Gena Rowlands has done.
September 23, 2020 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review… -
Skye gives an excellent performance in a role that spends a lot of time with her in contemplation.
September 4, 2020 | Full Review… -
...no less irresistible and poisonous than the nation's prevailing patriarchy, making Holly's violent deviation from her prescribed homemaking path the last tragic swerve of a woman in trouble.
