""The Swerve" is as raw and unnerving as watching someone have a complete mental breakdown. A story about anguish smothering and withering away every last ounce of life and hope could easily be a one-note, feel-bad bummer, but that never happens here. It's riveting to watch the dread accelerate and be served straight-up without a chaser to make its portrayal of mental decay more comfortable. Making his feature film debut, writer-director Dean Kapsalis draws the viewer in immediately with the demonstrative, fascinating face of character actor Azura Skye and never loses their attention." - Jeremy Kibler, The Artful Critic
