Review of Swallow

Swallow (I) (2019)
8/10
What's the last thing she swallowed?
23 February 2021
Although I had gotten prepared mentally to watch a gross movie, I immediately stopped drinking a cafe latte at the opening credit. Even if people look happy and satisfied with everything, it's hard to deceive yourselves. Some people can be really happy by acting like happy, but others can't be. In the case of her, she tried digesting her dissatisfaction by swallowing foreign matters I think. When someone has low self-estees is despised, she would feel like she is said that she's a worthless person. So, she tried enduring by something like self-harm.

As a human being, it's completely off the rails to stay the situation which you can't take care even yourself. "Nobody takes care you when you're true to yourself". What a hell life that is if you have to stay there while you feel so. Even if you hold on something, you'll figure out that is so silly sometimes from another angles. People prone to fall into blind easily.

Also, the colourful image and cute fashion of protagonist, Hunter, are so nice! On the contrary, I liked good acting like her insane eyes which are looking at something to swallow . And the scene of clearning with madness was also great. I've been there because I had bulimia a few years ago. I think the scenes of withdrawal syndrome have high-fidelity. I know it was a kind of trance state as well.
