‘Pig’ Review: Searching for Meaning in Nicolas Cage’s Truffle Flick | Eater
"A white-on-white, buzzy fine-dining room presented as a Portland hotspot and a send-up of contemporary haute cuisine: servers deliver theatrical, New Age-tinged descriptions and smoke-filled cloches (including a deconstructed scallop plated with Douglas-fir smoke and foraged flavors). The film stages a tense confrontation between the protagonist and the restaurant’s chef — a formerly fired employee whose quick unraveling under scrutiny exposes the pretensions of the scene — and the location functions as a satirical critique of culinary ceremony and critical reverence." - Joshua David Stein
