horror/drama - 1h34

“If you were in war, you would not have this problem of the mind”

Directed by Carlo Mirabella-Davis, Swallow follows Hunter (Haley Bennett), a stay at home wife living an unfulfilling life with her self-centered rich husband (Austin Stowell). After finding out she is pregnant, she begins to indulge her cravings for eating dangerous objects such as rocks, needles and even batteries.

This movie was a beautiful experience. The colors and decor were well thought out and added to the immersion. I loved the way the wardrobe was curated. Hunter's clothes changed throughout the movie, showcasing her mental state and the various stages of her life. I thought all the actors were great, but Haley Bennett's performance was particularly impressive in this movie. She really nailed the role. This movie is definitely multilayered and can be interpreted differently by the viewer depending on their personal experiences. I found it beautiful. Pregnancy, struggle with mental health, finding ways to cope with trauma, motherhood, failed marriages, criticism of the patriarchy, and suicidal thoughts. I personally took this movie as it was served to me; as a story about mental illness being ignored and silenced by patriarchy. Whether you're a man or a woman, mental illness is never taken seriously and is often looked down upon in a patriarchal society. This movie does focus more on the woman's experience and it helped me empathize and appreciate it a lot more. It felt good to see yourself represented, even if the way Hunter was coping with her trauma was particular. I personally never felt the need to eat peculiar objects, I can understand that some people find in it a way to be in control and cope with their struggles.

Overall, I had a great time. The movie is also well-paced and no scenes ever felt dragged for too long. I know that I will think about this movie often.
