The Swearing Jar (2022)
The Swearing Jar tells Carey’s story: a musician and teacher who throws a birthday concert for her husband, which plunges her into the past. Through romance, music and memory, we follow the story of Carey and Simon’s relationship, the birth of their child, and the lie that threatens to destroy it all!
Starring Adelaide Clemens (Rectify), Patrick J Adams (Suits), and Kathleen Turner, the Canadian romcom has a 94% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with The Globe and Mail calling it “a movie you didn’t expect… equally thoughtful and full of feeling.”
