Michael Rechtshaffen

Los Angeles Times

With its parade of finger-pointing vloggers, picture-posting stalkers and hijab-wearing, smartphone-clutching schoolgirls, "Pig" ("Khook") makes it savagely clear Western society hasn't cornered the market on selfie-centered behavior.

The filmmaker and his work deserve to be better known, and Pig is an ideal introduction to both for American audiences.

Rated: 3.5/4

Richard Brody

New Yorker

It is rare for a film to put forth so boldly precise a vision of society; it's also rare to find a satire that hardly ever falls into mere ridicule or pathos.

Eye for Film

The film is rich in absurdist humour and intermingles character-based comedy with sharp observation.

Rated: 4/5

Washington City Paper

By the time it reaches its frenzied conclusion, its comic exaggeration offers biting insight into what creative suppression must feel like.
