• PIG (no spoilers)

    From moviePig@21:1/5 to All on Thu Nov 25 18:29:50 2021
    A recluse is devastated when his truffle pig, his sole support, is
    stolen. PIG is a first-rate demonstration of what Nicolas Cage does
    best, i.e., playing a character that only he can play. This is an
    ambitious and visceral little drama, with not only moments but content
    ...even if the latter's admittedly hard to pin down. Recommended.

    Oh, my god. We agree. This is scary.

    But heartening Bill! I didn't believe that you were capable of improvement.

    It's been almost four months since William and I told you to watch this
    one. Sure took you long enough. You never listen.

    That put it in my queue ...which Netflix didn't remind me of when it
    finally reached DVD.

    I retrieved (and now remember well) the earlier exchange, and can
    scarcely believe you actually said less about the movie than I have...

    For some reason the review I read included a spoiler that made me, as a
    vegan, not want to see it.

    Other than characters who happen not to be vegan, I don't get it.

    I read that the pig gets killed. True or false?
