I had to watch it dubbed in English but expected the dub to be good like any other english dubbed film out today, that was not the case for this film. The English dub is possibly the worst I've ever heard in any film. The people they chose to do the voices were awful and turned a drama into a kid's comedy. Seriously it felt like I was watching a straight up comedy film because the voices were so ridiculously over the top and awful as they didn't match the ages of the characters and it was not natural sounding. They used a grown woman for a little boy's voice and a young woman for the older woman playing the mother. Absolutely could not get past that at all. Made what should have been a serious drama into a joke. You could have hired anyone else and it would have been better than this. Aside from that, the film itself was decent. The acting from all was fairly realistic and I think it was an interesting take on bullying with a twist.

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!!!

Rented this movie on Amazon Prime and I had no choice but to rent the dubbed version of this film because the only other option was to buy the Spanish version. Avoid the dubbed version at all costs. One of the worst English dubbing of a film I've ever seen/heard, so it was difficult to fairly judge this movie. The voiceover actors should never be allowed to ruin someone's film like this again. It was worse than a 1960's Godzilla movie. If I were to walk down the block and grabbed strangers off the street, they would've done a better job. I'll have to watch this film again when I can see it for free and possibly revise my review then.

"PIGGY is the right type of film to be one of the last movies in an event such as the Sundance Film Festival. Carlota Pereda takes advantage of the terrific lead performance from Laura Galán, and delivers a shocking, violent, frighteningly grounded story about bullying, fat-shaming, and self-acceptance.

Despite taking a more revenge-driven approach, the filmmaker beautifully develops the moral concepts at hand. The romantic subplot doesn't really work, though, and the film would have benefited from a stronger atmosphere. In addition to this, just a couple of impactful dialogues surrounding the main themes would have drastically improved the overall piece.

Still, it's definitely a must-watch."

Rating: B+

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.
