Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Pig (2021)

Cage is living in isolation in the woods, visited once a week by the businessman who buys his truffles and brings him supplies. When his truffle-hunting pig is stolen, Cage is determined to find her at all costs. It's sometimes ridiculous and usually confusing, but Cage is the grounding force. He believes in the mission and we can do nothing but jump on his crazy train and hang on. I was intermittently annoyed (why, exactly, won't he tidy up a bit??), but usually just in awe (the hand pan scene was quietly moving).

Once again, Cage just absolutely GOES for it and delivers a performance that other actors can only dream of achieving.

B+
