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. Feb 14, 2019 Full Review Godfrey Cheshire RogerEbert.com 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 Feb 1, 2019 Full Review 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. Jan 10, 2019 Full Review José Amador Pérez Andújar Caimán Cuadernos de Cine The spectator who assumes the challenge will be attracted by the succession of some facts. [Full review in Spanish] Jun 12, 2019 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film The film is rich in absurdist humour and intermingles character-based comedy with sharp observation. Rated: 4/5 Feb 1, 2019 Full Review Alan Zilberman Washington City Paper By the time it reaches its frenzied conclusion, its comic exaggeration offers biting insight into what creative suppression must feel like.
