Synopsis
"Mr. Pig" (2016) — a Mexican road drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Diego Luna follows Ambrose, an aging California farmer played by Danny Glover: the bank has taken the farm, and his last move is smuggling a prize hog across the border into Mexico to sell it. Not the cleanest plan, but the only one he has.
Midway into the trip his estranged daughter shows up. Maya Rudolph plays her with a mix of exasperation and suppressed grief — two people who've been strangers for years suddenly stuck together on the road. Glover carries long stretches without dialogue and doesn't need a word. The stubbornness, the fatigue, the clumsy love are right there in his face.
A quiet, unhurried film about the kind of reconciliation that doesn't happen in one scene — it accumulates mile by mile. Stream "Mr. Pig" online on iFILM.
