- 75Film ThreatBobby LePireFilm ThreatBobby LePireSwallowed features great acting, especially from Malone, and a truly intense final act that must be seen to be believed.
- 60IGNMatt DonatoIGNMatt DonatoSwallowed is an LGBTQ+ thriller that trades complexity for intimacy over a drug run gone horribly wrong. It's intense and thrilling at the right moments, capitalizing on authentic body horrors.
- 58The PlaylistMike DeAngeloThe PlaylistMike DeAngeloAs the title suggests, Swallowed gives you something to chew on, but apart from a few shining and delicious morsels, it’s less of a feast and more of an underwhelming meal.
- 50Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayLos Angeles TimesNoel MurraySwallowed is slow-paced and often aggressively unpleasant — unless your idea of a good time is watching people moan in pain for minutes on end while clutching their stomachs. But it’s a memorably intense experience, with sharp points to make about how the lives of outsiders and outlaws can tip in an instant into sloppy chaos.
