Whatever.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 17, 2021

This is Bennett's show... It's a role you can imagine a young Isabelle Huppert playing, and there's no higher praise than that.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 17, 2021

Bennett, who's been largely off the radar for a while, is heartbreaking and, eventually, fierce as her character begins to crave change.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 17, 2021

I only wish "Swallow" didn't hammer its themes home quite so hard, through dialogue, editing, and camerawork that never trust the audience to think for itself.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 17, 2021

This is a movie that cries out for attention, in ways both admirable and grating.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 30, 2020

It was refreshing to see a movie that bothered me this much.

| Original Score: B+ | Apr 22, 2020

In a time when everyone's anxieties are heightened, it's validating to see a film like Carlo Mirabella-Davis's Swallow, which understands that sometimes the scariest things are grounded in reality.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 17, 2020

I think people should see it. I think there's so much that does work in this movie.

| Original Score: 7.2/10 | Mar 26, 2020

The debut feature from writer-director Carlo Mirabella-Davis is a cool, contemporary takedown of domestic dissatisfaction.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 25, 2020

"Swallow" is Bennett's show: she plays delicate, doting and disturbed with a fragility that is hypnotizing.

| Original Score: A- | Mar 20, 2020

The timing feels right for this DSM-friendly thriller, provided you have the stomach for it. This is not an easy watch. There is, however, a lot to chew on.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 20, 2020

A remarkably rebellious film, filled with a kind of sly, anarchic energy from which one wants to greedily drink as it cracks through, and pours from, its hard, candy-colored shell.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Mar 20, 2020

It takes place in a landscape that's largely internal - but that's territory that can be just as filled with darkness and dread as a forbidding mansion.

| Mar 19, 2020

The terror and heavy grief of a woman not feeling autonomy over her own body is extreme, and Bennett encompasses that particular anguish in a way other women have not been able to explore.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 12, 2020

In "Swallow," Bennett finally comes into her own as the kind of leading lady who is more than just a pretty face, and can occupy the screen and hold it, with commanding authority.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 11, 2020

It's really lovely and I am so happy to see Haley Bennett back... I found this film absolutely likable.

| Mar 7, 2020

I love the mastery of tone and the specific color palette at play here.

| Mar 7, 2020

This is an intimate, masterfully modulated character study of abuse, isolation, depression and obsession that grows in chillingly personal impact as it goes along.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 6, 2020

An uncompromising horror that evokes deeply rooted alienation and dysmorphia.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 6, 2020

Writer-director Carlo Mirabella-Davis has made a feminist film that lodges deep in your throat, taking up residence in your chest as you struggle to breathe.
