Pig

...so much richer and stranger than the Nicolas Cage revenge thriller it appears to be.

What a beguiling, confounding film "Pig" is.

...Cage has crafted a quiet soliloquy about grasping onto something that has meaning.

...[Cage] radiates a quiet, studied sagacity as he tenderly kneads pastry and explains the presence of tannins in persimmon fruit to a small child.

Bearded, bloodied and making his few words count, an entirely different Nicolas Cage shows up for this fascinating indie...

Cage is understated, intense and haunted in this seriocomic search for a stolen companion...

...Cage is given the time and space to be sincere once again, a rare experience for him and a rewarding one for us.
