"...a bold and rueful story of clumsy, bittersweet sexual awakening."
— TIME OUT Stephen Garrett
"PIGGIE succeeds by coating its female coming of age story in an overwhelmingly narcotic glaze, it's pacing and poetic imagery revealing all the wide-eyed panic and odd obsessions of those caught between child and adult, dream and reality."
— FILMMAKER Jason Sanders
"Luna/Galaxie 500 frontman Dean Wareham delivers a terrifically eccentric performance as the cranky object of desire."
— VILLAGE VOICE Dennis Lim
"Savannah Haske vaults into the "One to Watch" category with her fearless performance in writer-director Alison Bagnall's feature debut..."
— IFP/Los Angeles Film Festival
"All the performances are so well pitched to the film's tone of abject absurdity that they seem to be teasing us -- yet they're never kidding. PIGGIE's swampy, claustrophobic beauty will follow you around for days."
— DISCORDER Penelope Mulligan
"This psychological drama about the romantic obsessions of damaged souls, fluctuates between dark humor and painful honesty. . .Wareham and Dusty Trails' gorgeous soundtrack underscores the tension."
— Mill Valley Film Festival
"...a quiet, subtle, disturbing, and peculiarly funny character piece."
— AIN'T IT COOL NEWS – Jason Moriarty
"...an intimate, quietly subversive character study."
— INDEPENDENT LENS Michael Fox
"...a film that's extremely natural and lifelike. PIGGIE is a major accomplishment."
— FILM THREAT Eric Campos
