“Choices, choices, choices”, is the sigh that comes from protagonist Barbara every now and then in this elliptical film by Freddy Macdonald. Sew Thorn tells a surrealistically tinted story that revolves around the small influence of personal decisions on the paths that fate has predestined for someone. Barbara experiences this when she is once again busy on a rainy day trying to provide for her needy existence as a seamstress and is suddenly confronted with the hope of wealth. Various choices and various scenarios follow in this entertaining allegory that plays with the butterfly effect.

The film is inspired by the short film with the same title. In that short film there is one progression based on an event. In the long version Macdonald varies with different scenarios around the same premise. That approach produces absurd and very entertaining storylines. It is nice that with each new scenario the characters get more contours. Also nice is the macabre humor that comes from the unsavory actions of the characters that are peppered with selfishness, contempt and unscrupulousness.

The film is set against the backdrop of the Swiss Alps. A background that gives the film a somewhat threatening and gloomy atmosphere. And because the characters speak Irish-English, this background seems rather out of place and ridiculous. It is absurd and that fits in well with this crime comedy in which the titular sewing kit is unwound in unlikely directions. Finally, let's mention the curious props that Barbara uses to overpower her opponents. Hilarious.
