Cerdita

Not everything works (the 2nd act is a bit too long, some characters' decisions are a bit questionable too), but this is really well done.

The first act is as uncomfortable as necessary and the most engaging part of the film IMO. Without it, you wouldn't get the motivations, the internal doubts, and the grey areas of our main character.

Even if it drags a bit in the middle, the third act is strong and the finale delivers. After being seen for the first time, everything changes, and now even her calls for help are heard.

Great performance by Claudia Salas and confident direction by Carlota Pereda.

The piggy is a very good thrill ride all the way to the end. I saw it's trailer sometime before and I really liked it. The lead performer did a great job and acted very well. Also her mother performed very well. It could be a10/10 movie but it just lack some storytelling I guess. From start to the end it held my attention and the ending was also very good. The movie also gave a good motive to not to bully other person. All in all its a fun thrill ride and held your interest till the end I think YouTube channel alter showed its trailer two or three years ago I can't fully remember. Anyway good watch fun movie recommended.

Two thumbs up!! For the characters, for the editing, directing and of course: acting. The main character portrayed by an unknown actress for me (Sara/Piggy) in the movie is simply the best of the film. The father of the family also and the Basque actor, wich I know Amets Otxoa does a good acting for a young and new actor. Carmen Machi is as always brilliant.

Richard Holmes reveals an incredible potential.

Carlota Pereda who's first film is a grounbreaking director, made a short about the story that won multiple awards. Now we see the movie of it.

Really good depicting of a rural Spanish town, with some brilliant moments of acting!!

Zorionak Carlota! You have made it!

7 and a half stars out of ten!!!

From technical point of view, the movie is probably 6 stars movie. However, the movie does small and little things right and it does the basic stuff right. After the final act, it almost feels like I want to give it 8 because the movie concludes everything what is required considering what the movie gives at the first act. Story gets captivating to follow that what is going to happen next. It's actually brilliant in that sense.

The movie is cruel in places but I suppose that it is the purpose of the movie and thus it delivers what it's expected. What comes to violence or gore, I think that it's managed very well. Not too little or not too much but good balance in right places.

Laura Galan (Sara) makes actually superb performance. She plays her part very well and I think she manages to kind of trick the viewer by the end of the movie. Too bad that the villain is not that convincing since it's almost like a the beauty and the beast kind of story. I also did like Carmen Machi (Sara's mother). She plays her part very well. I think she actually turns some things in the movie to comedy but at the same time she's very convincing.

The movie would be totally 8 starts or even 9 with a little bit of bigger budget and little bit of refinement in the overall production. Go and see it.

This is a delightful, grim tale of a lone fat girl who is bullied by everyone around her except her dear, sweet dad - and the killer. Great cinematography and acting are well directed; it is all encapsulated by a beautiful countryside. Sara tries her hardest to just live her life but she's bullied when she goes out and berated at home. After a particularly harrowing version of the daily insults she endures the very girls who were tormenting her a moment ago are now snatched up by the serial killer who watched as they belittled and tortured her. Sara knows. Sara saw them in his van. And he stops the van and leaves her a towel to cover herself because the bully girls stole her clothes. Her dilemma is whether to tell what she knows and therefore save their wretched selves or keep mum and keep her admittedly evil savior.
