Review of Billi Pig

Billi Pig (2012)
3/10
A couple laughs, but overall pretty terrible
12 March 2012
I currently live in Brazil and always try to support the Brazilian cinema industry whenever I can. I always go to see Brazilian movies in the theater and I am happy to see the great increase in production quality of films in the past few years. There have been many movies that I have really enjoyed. This one, on the other hand, was a major deception.

The actors were all pretty decent for what they had to work with. What failed the most in the movies was the story. I think they were making the movie up as they went along. Very terrible story that made no sense.

None of the characters were very likable. They were all dishonest in their own way.

A lot of the story went unsolved. There were so many questions I still had about the story at the end of the movie.

Again, like I said, there were a couple funny scenes, thanks to the actors themselves. But overall, very terribly written.

If you are looking to give Brazilian cinema a chance, look elsewhere, because this film is definitely a step back in the progress they have made over the years.
