Swallows is a story about trauma. A psychological disorder, feminism, patriarchy and empowerment.
Swallow is a suggestive tale and an interesting critique of the social facade in which some women can be trapped and the social interactions that puts them there.
Swallows is Haley Bennett's show and she does a splendid job, however the director forgets about the others and frankly the people around her never stop looking like simple cartoons and that baffled me, especially because the film fails to establish the necessary strength to highlight the complexities of its themes.
It plays safe for the most part and that was a bit disappointing.
However, it's still an intriguing experience, especially since it doesn't provide clear answers and even when a film fails to be notable, it's always respectable that it doesn't try to give you everything so easily.
I only would've liked the story to be more crude, because if you're already at the doors of that threshold, then dare to cross it.
