- Cecilia Barroso @ [Portuguese]
- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ SpiritualityandPractice.com
- Excerpt: A touching meditation on grief and a critique of the high-end restaurant scene.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: If you go into this movie expecting something like “John Wick” crossed with “Gunda,” prepare to have your expectations upended as “Pig” is a melancholy, almost spiritual, meditation on what makes life worth living.
- Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
- Excerpt: Michael Sarnoski is taking a huge swing with his approach to the story, and it helps having someone like Nicolas Cage leading the way because only someone with his level of earnest commitment could take something like this seriously and make you really feel the emotions that the filmmakers are trying to pull off.
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: This is such an offbeat little film. The narrative’s ability to subvert expectations is perhaps its greatest asset.
- Blake Howard @ Dark Horizons
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: John Wick meets First Cow. Anticapitalism and anti-toxic-masculinity crash the revenge thriller to find a new paradigm for delivering retribution to those who have done a man wrong.
- Mark Leeper @ Mark Leeper’s Reviews
- Excerpt: PIG sounds like a story about the touching relationship between a man and his pig. In fact, it involves a truffle-hunting pig and at the market price of truffles his talent makes extremely valuable.
- Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See
- Excerpt: Who expected the movie where Nicolas Cage tracks down his kidnapped pig to be the frontrunner for the best, most moving picture of the year?
- Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com
- Excerpt: [It’s Cage’s] best performance in years. [His character] reminding those around him that life is too precious to treat like something you can “win.”
- Bev Questad @ itsjustmovies.com
- Excerpt: There is confusion underground, confusion about why the pig was stolen, and confusion about a woman who lives with 24/7 care. But Cage’s under-played portrayal of the rise of Robin Feld, a man in multiple grief, is worth the price of admission.
- [New] | Diego Salgado @ SoFilm [Spanish]
- Andrew Wyatt @ The Lens
- Sebastian Zavala @ Cinencuentro.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: A study of grief and regret, with a Nic Cage who has remembered how to convey these emotions through subtle facial gestures and specific actions.
