The Avett Brothers' "Swept Away" struggles to merge its hauntingly beautiful folk songs with a grotesque theme of cannibalism at sea, resulting in an uneven experience.
Mate, played by John Gallagher Jr., grapples with his traumatic past aboard the lifeboat, haunted by the desperate choices made and the ghosts of his companions.
Set on a fictional American whaling expedition, the story lacks depth as characters remain undeveloped and the rushed timeline stifles emotional connection to their horror.
Despite the intriguing premise, the lack of character development and a rushed narrative leave 'Swept Away' feeling more like a curiosity than a compelling musical.
