Samuel's Travels

Cute movie, a little dry to start but pays out in the end.

Little bit of male nudity, not vulgar but is pertinent to the story, wasn't full frontal or sexual.

A strange film. Sam sets off to find his long-lost father and ends up a slave to a pig farmers daughter. What happens after that is a strange mix of violence, conspiring farmers and pigs that appear to talk, not that the only person that can hear them can understand them. Well photographed and acted the film moves at a good pace and I suppose it's up to the viewer to decide Sam's decisions as there are a lot of different possibilities. The classical music background was at times poignant and at others rather annoying. Worth a watch if you like a film with puzzles. The pigs acted very well.

It's a bit weird, a bit charming, a bit dark, a bit funny, and overall, worth a watch. In some ways it reminded me of the novel "Animal Farm", where humans end up becoming the pigs, but with an odd Stockholm syndrome twist to it. Some may question how a movie with a description like that could ever be comical, but you'll just have to watch it for yourself to understand.

I randomly stumbled across this film after watching "Close" (FYI these two films are not even remotely similar in the slightest). I was looking into some of the other movies cast members had been in, and I discovered Belgian actor Kevin Janssens. I will say that I am now a huge fan of his. I'd be willing to bet many other people will feel similarly after watching it.

Impressive little movie that is worth anyone's time.

Well written, acted and directed but it keeps you wondering what is coming next.

Some strange choices made by some characters but it just added to the slightly weird air about this movie.
