The Swerve Ratings & Reviews
Josh C
November 27, 2024
Very very very slow burn. Kept waiting for something to happen. Wasn’t bad, but there wasn’t a whole lot of excitement involved.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
It's a forceful debut from Kapsalis, but, wow, it is harrowing.
San Diego Reader
Scott Marks
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.
Thrillist
Scott Weinberg
a rough, powerful, disturbing character piece anchored by a frankly stunning lead performance by Azura Skye.

Jackie K. Cooper
A dramatic, compelling story of a woman truly in the edge. Azura Skye gives a masterful performance.
Third Coast Review
Lisa Trifone
While it's distressing to watch Holly crumble under the pressure, it's also impossible to look away.
The Lens
Andrew Wyatt
Skye's fantastically brittle and anguished performance elevates 'The Swerve' from a sharp little psychological thriller into a genuinely haunting character study.
Voices & Visions
Jim Laczkowski
One of the year's best, carried brilliantly by Azura Skye as well as Dean Kapsalis' assured vision that is on par with Polanski in terms of creating dread and tension in the midst of a mental collapse.
Celluloid Dreams
Peter Canavese
An intense, intimate and moving internal drama...a worthy beneficiary of the hunger for content brought about by the coronavirus pandemic.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
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.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
[Azura] Skye is stunning in the central role.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
[Azure] Skye's memorable portrayal of a desperately unhappy wife and mother is what holds this film together, because the movie's pace tends to drag for too long, and the story leaves many questions unanswered.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
Give Kapsalis and his committed cast credit for boldly going out on a limb-their movie isn't perfect, but it definitely makes an imprint.
North Shore Movies
Daniel M. Kimmel
A bravura performance by Azura Skye as a woman spiraling downward makes The Swerve simultaneously engrossing and difficult to watch.
The Black Cape
Jonita Davis
After watching 'The Swerve,' you will have a whole new reason to remember Azura Skye and by her real name, not the character she plays.
Wicked Horror
Joey Keogh
Beautifully photographed and carefully assembled, The Swerve is an emotionally resonant experience with a heart-breaking payoff that's fully sold by Skye's vanity-free performance.
Punch Drunk Critics
Travis Hopson
...the incidental facets of daily life and their devastating impact on those who are struggling with depression are as terrifying as any evil spirit.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
Azura Skye's tremendous performance [is] as unblinkingly honest as anything Gena Rowlands has done.
Jaredmobarak.com
Jared Mobarak
The Swerve embraces its heavy subject matter with a fearlessness that ultimately sends us towards a conclusion marked by intense despair.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
A riveting and troubling psychological drama which relentlessly spirals out of control.
