I was happy to see that not only is Azura Skye still acting, but that she is the star of The Swerve, and she carries the film wonderfully. In 2000, Skye played a tragic young heroin addict, and Sandra Bullock’s roommate, in the rehab drama 28 Days. At the time, Skye’s natural blond hair was dyed a jet-black. Following 28 Days, Skye starred on the WB sitcom Zoe, Duncan, Jack & Jane, as the titular Jane, with Selma Blair as Zoe (full episodes are on YouTube if you’re curious). Recently, she had recurring roles on Riverdale and the latest iteration of Charmed, as well as a small role on Girls. To my knowledge, she has not had many starring roles. I was excited to review The Swerve, especially given the film’s synopsis – a wife, teacher and mother finds herself slowly falling apart.
