Review of Swallow

Swallow (I) (2019)
5/10
Less than desired
11 January 2021
The cinematography is great, but it doesn't really save the film from its pitfalls. What would seem as an otherwise promising premise; it lacks in imagination.

The lead plays the part perfectly, but the story is incredibly bland and it wasn't as intense as anticipated.

By the time the credits rolled, it felt as though it was two steps ahead but lagged in execution. Whichever message they wanted to convey does not smoothly translate on screen.

Needless to say, it's watchable and oftentimes engaging enough to stick through, even if it gets lost in its own ambitions.
