Swung
(2016)
Swung
is a drama set in Glasgow
about couple David (Owen
McDonnell) and Alice
(Elena Anaya) who have hit
a rough patch in their
marriage. David is
suffering from erectile
dysfunction which isn't
helped by his unemployment
or his problematic
relationship with his ex
who won't let him see his
daughter much. One day
while filling in time,
David happens on a
swingers site and
accidentally leaves it on
his laptop which Alice
discovers. At first, Alice
is alarmed by this, but in
an act of desperation at
her own work, uses it to
pitch a story idea which
she then convinces David
to join in, just to
observe, for the story and
who knows, maybe help
their own relationship.
After an initial meeting
with a couple which ends
badly, David and Alice
have sex and maybe this is
the thing to improve their
own sex life, but their
next encounter heads into
an unexplored area and
causes ructions between
the couple that they may
destroy their
relationship.
A muddled look into the
world of swinging, never
really getting deep enough
to get any insight and
more interested into the
salacious (not that I have
a problem with that as I
do like Elena Anaya).
There's is some good stuff
involving a character
played by Elizabeth
McGovern, but that doesn't
lead to much and only
seems to be their to set
up the conclusion than to
explore anything deeper.
To be honest, I found the
film to be dull for the
most part with no real
insight into why people
actually swing instead of
the contrived reason used
in Swung. Disappointing
really...
