I found the story refreshing, poignant, and heart warming. There were so many different kinds of love and I felt the movie wasn't sappy at all.

A real oinker…. Poorly written, unbelievable narrative, plot holes, depressing, meaningless…

A very good depiction of a road, but not a road movie. Highways are pleasant. Best performance goes to the pig. Dull film driven by the inevitable.

Slow moving plot with little in the way of interesting diallogue.

An unassuming gem.

San Francisco Chronicle

In the background, we see a glimpse of Mexico we rarely see in movies, devoid of cliches. In the foreground, two fine actors bringing depth to Luna's otherwise slight character study.

Rated: 3/4

The overall result is not exactly dull, but given the talent and potential here, should have been more poignant and memorable.

Movie Nation

The few samples of Mexican working class charm we're treated to hint at a better movie that might have come from this idea, beginning with the better script that would have required.

Rated: 2/4

SF Weekly

Glover is always pleasant to hang out with, Rudolph gets to show off her considerable dramatic chops, while Joel Murray makes a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo. And if you don't think you can feel sorry for a pig, wait for those last few minutes.

Eye for Film

Luna wallows in emotional gloom like a pig in mud, coating the script in a layer after layer of regret to little purpose.

Rated: 2.5/5
