Oh to lie down just eating dirt and thinking about life
Swallow
53/100 I feel like this narrative of blaming rape for everything wrong with your current life is overused. That being said, I felt for her, for quite some time as I couldn’t understand why she did it but I knew there was a reason and the moment they related it to the rape is when this movie went downhill for me. I see many people blaming the guy and his parents and I hated them initially too. I did think if he asked her what she wanted and what she liked every once in a while, she probably wouldn’t go to such lengths to find some sort of gratification or a sense of control from elsewhere. But eventually, I sided with him, at least partially considering she was harming their child, not “his” child, their child! She was doing all this shit and not thinking of a life growing inside of her. What is the logic, she wanted to kill the kid because she didn’t want someone born like she was, to the wrong partner? What? The whole film is a bit too far-fetched and I would say they should’ve given it more time but they made it boring in a short runtime so no thank you. The plot was there and everything was set up but the correlation and explanation was lacking. That failed the whole film. Haley Bennett is good and the rest are just ordinarily supporting. It was shot well too. Also, what about the end? Is she just gonna eat shit and bleed out to death eventually, rupturing her asshole to bits, internal bleeding and shit? Like what was that ending of her going out happily? Maybe I’m just not sensitive or wise enough to understand this but you treat pica or you die.

How many calories does dirt have ?

This movie was not what I expected, it was marketed more as a thriller/horror film, and while it has some elements of that, it’s much more of a psychological character piece. Bennet’s performance is outstanding, and the film’s gorgeous visuals work in tandem with the story to conceal the darkness at its core.
