Oscar Futures: Could We Be In For a Surprise in Best Actor?

RIP to any oscar nominations. 

I was torn whether or not to watch this movie, as my image of Nicolas Cage has been tainted by countless memes. However, I recently came across Obama's year-end list of favorite movies, which listed Pig, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I really enjoyed the pace and serene first chapter. But Rob's developing friendship with Amir felt a bit too unrealistic for me (like Amir had nothing to do this whole time driving Nic Cage around?) and some scenes felt like they were super dramatic for little reason. It is a slow paced thriller but goes into themes of coming to terms with reality and encouraging you to do what fulfills you in life over fame, attention, or money. I appreciated it's uniqueness, and Nicolas Cage's image is a little less tainted now. 7/10
