Swallow (I) (2019)
8/10
SOMETIMES THE MOST PAINFUL PLACE IS IN YOUR MIND
11 April 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This is NOT a Thriller or HORROR FILM. It is a Drama about a woman over the edge who should outwardly seem like she has it all... a gorgeous, successful husband, a big beautiful home, plenty of money and she's expecting her first child. But all is NOT how it seems. Inside she's suffering deeply from depression, pica and probably some form of PTSD from her life's traumas. She's eating non-food items which are making her increasingly sicker. I won't say more except that mental illness and trauma affect people in different ways. I felt extreme compassion for the lead character watching her suffer. Don't just write this film off. It is important and unforgettable. People hurt and sometimes hurt themselves and inadvertently their own loved ones.
