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. At times, you’re unable to believe what you’re seeing and yet unable to look away. “Swallow” is difficult viewing at times, but it’s psychologically rich and always feels genuine, even in its gorgeously stylized approach to the interior life of its complex protagonist.

I thought it was going to be about the birds - but the blurb hooked me and I went straight to watch it. I thought it was very good - a troubled bride surrounded by the opulence of the American dream and the unravelling of the bride's past.

Pica is the general term given to the condition, but depending on the object leads to many more names - a few useful ones for the Slightly Harder Word Game here

Acuphagia (sharp objects)
Geomelophagia (raw potatoes)
Geophagia (dirt, soil, clay)
Hyalophagia (glass)
Lithophagia (stones)
Mucophagia (mucus)
Trichophagia (hair, wool, and other fibers)
Xylophagia (wood, or derivates of wood such as paper)
