"PIG, Michael Sarnoski’s stunningly controlled first feature, is a mournful fable of loss and withdrawal, art and ambition." - 07/15/2021 New York Times
"Through it all, Nicolas Cage delivers a performance of simmering greatness, grabbing every inch of the screen without hamming it up..." - 07/14/2021 Chicago Sun-Times
"Cage’s glowering sotto voce delivery, in a cranky late-period Clint Eastwood register, shows that minimalism can be as much an excess as its opposite." - 12/03/2021 Sight and Sound
