"Would you say that my actions were justified?" Vertigo Releasing has unveiled an official trailer for a film called
Sew Torn, an intriguing crime comedy + psychological thriller with
Run Lola Run-esque vibes. This first premiered at the 2024 SXSW Film Festival last year, and it also played at the Locarno, Sitges, and Camerimage Film Festivals.
Eve Connolly stars as Barbara Duggen, a mobile seamstress, who gets tangled in her own thread after stealing a briefcase from a drug deal gone bad. In an escalating, frightening game of cat and mouse, her different choices lead her to drastically different outcomes along the way.
