The Swerve (2018)
7/10
proper tragedy
22 December 2023
It's a personal tragedy, and IMHO the main theme is integrated/socialized aggression. The hero learns too late to say and do what needs said/done in a proportional, appropriate way.

It's a wonderful feel-bad cathartic tragedy. Really really good.

Also it is full of imagery and vibe. It doesn't fall into the common trap of trying to explain everything away intellectually.

BTW the actor playing the hero nails it. I really went through every upsetting ordeal with her, and it was a roller coaster ride LOL. Good job!

Actually, I suppose all of the actors did extremely well, because I got such a strong vibe from each character from the moment they appeared on screen. They are all like dream characters, and I reacted viscerally to each.
