Swallow, 2019. Or, the most thoughtful and right movie at the right time with the right amount of pent up fucking everything for when you’re feeling like a lost empty vessel in a vast ocean of meaninglessness.
I just saw Everything Everywhere All At Once (and I’d watch it a million more times, especially with Julia if she is in fact reading this) and it was the most inspiring, emotional, creative movie I’ve seen in a while. There are very few movies I’ll allow to be called “films” because it just sounds so pretentious to me most times, but EEAAO and Swallow are definitely on a higher plane of consideration, so I’ll allow it.
Everything Everywhere All At Once and Swallow are about the same loneliness to me. Swallow is more intentionally beautiful, and in a much more controlled way.
