'What's present is so incredibly promising that it's almost disappointing the film doesn't wrestle with something bigger than bullying.' nataliakeogan reviews Piggy. Sundance2022
Secret first loves, cliquish mean girls and strained family dynamics take their most disquieting turns in, Spanish director Carlota Pereda’s feature debut. Expanding upon her 2018 short of the same name, the film focuses on a fat teenage girl named Sara who endures intolerance from her peers over the size of her body.
In her small Extremadura town, Sara is the subject of unyielding persecution. Due to her weight, she is given the nickname “Piggy,” always blurted by her abusers with venomous hostility. On a scorching summer’s day, Sara dons an ordinary pink bikini and heads to the public pool, only to be met with a noxious pack of mean girls led by the senselessly callous Maca .
However, the intention of Pereda’s script and DP Rita Noriega’s lens is deeply felt throughout, a commitment to portraying these women as wholly as possible. Though the brunt of Sara’s mistreatment is in the form of abject verbal abuse , it is also the only tangible violence the audience sees committed against a woman. Sara’s tormentors are kidnapped and there’s talk of a local woman being murdered in her home, but the camera never captures the physical brutality these women suffer.
