Movies watched in 2023

Cerdita (Piggy) (2022, Spain)

Director & Writer: Carlota Pereda

Mini-review:

I loved this way more than I thought I would. The representation probably isn't perfect, but it portrays fatphobia in a really harsh and unflinching light. Some people might find it too much, but I think Carlota Pereda made the right choice, showing how bullying and abuse can affect a person's psyche. Oh, and it was a fantastic move to show that fatphobia can happen at home as much as it happens outside. While there are strong doses of dark humor here and there, the movie is a pretty hard watch at times, so be warned.

All that being said, the movie's true power rests entirely on Laura Galán's bravura performance. She perfectly conveys her character's anxiety, confusion and terror. I couldn't help but relate to her, even as her situation escalates into something pretty crazy. Also, Carmen Machi's acting is as excellent as always, but I already expected that. Finally, I wanted to mention the cinematography and the sound design. The movie flawlessly captures the vibes of summer life in a small, rural-ish Spanish town, from the light to the background noises. So yeah, I will definitely keep an eye out for Pereda and Galán's future work.

More “suspense/thriller” than horror. (*Don’t choose the English-dubbed version - horrible voiceover acting; opt for subtitles instead)

31 Scary Movies in March Day Four: Piggy

Piggy features a young woman who is shamed for her body by some bullies and has to decide what to do when she sees them get abducted by a stranger. The Stranger seems sympathetic and horrifyingly affectionate towards her, and she has to struggle between telling the police what she saw or keeping it quiet. 

You can really feel the urgency of both sides. And that really makes the story all the more tense, because what will she end up doing?

Sara and Asun, the main character and her mother, are by far the standouts in this movie. They both played very believable characters. 

Other than that, I really do not know what to say about this movie. It’s really slow in some places, and really intense in others. There are some parts I really didn’t like and some I did. It does end up paying off when she ends up going to find the girls. And that sequence is very tense and terrifying.
