      Carolina B This movie is a must watch! I did not expect it to be so strong and at the same time so comic. It reminded me of Chaplin's The Dictator... Cult Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/24 Full Review Audience Member ein wunderbar erfrischender film Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member So funny indeed. I know that the controversies are bigger than that easy thing in the movie, but it's nice to find something entrant even it was a "pig" which is not "Kosher" nor "Halal". It's somehow ironically, light sociopolitical critic dark comedy. A pacifist unusual movie as it talks about a serious matter in non-serious way with nice idea of Sylvain Estibal and good performances. Although I hope, but I really guess this way of dealing cannot change anything real on land. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member dengan realitas tersebut (baca: konflik arab vs israel / pendudukan gaza oleh zionis). film ini berhasil membawa pesan perdamaian walapun masih dalam skala mikroskopis bila dibandingkan dengan kompleksitas dan besarnya konflik yang ada di perbatasan gaza umumnya konflik palestina vs israel. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Jafaar, a poor Palestinian fisherman, catches a Vietnamese pig in his nets, with curious consequences for both sides. Magic realism, descending on on Gaza, gives rise to a patchy whimsical comedy masquerading as allegory/political satire. Unsurprisingly the writers find it hard to make a convincing ending, and don't do it soon enough. Touching central performance from Sasson Gabai. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member A poignant, touching film about trying to find a place to fit in, to belong with a humorous twist.
