I Kill Giants

What to Know

Critics Consensus

I Kill Giants' moody magical realism sometimes slips into the mundane, but impressive CGI and a powerhouse performance by Madison Wolfe pack an unexpected punch.

Guardian

There should be a separate genre heading for this film: time-wasting droopy fantasy.

Rated: 1/5

It's not Donnie Darko, but it may delight the nerdie tween weirdo in your life.

I Kill Giants is a fantasy, a beautiful allegory of growing up “different” and a deft handling of a storyline that could have been either too cute, or far too adult.

The Upcoming

With an imaginative premise framing a poignant tale of acceptance, the film is utterly delightful.

Cinapse

I Kill Giants is a different kind of comic book movie, one that has a heart and soul missing from the current box office fodder. I adored everything about this film and found its complex dream-like narrative poignant as well as refreshing.

C A Great movie! Needed a part 2 and 3. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/24 Full Review Isla W One of the most brilliantly crafted, atmospheric, realistic movies I've seen in a while. Yes, I know it wasn't marketed correctly, but I am sick to death of people giving it bad ratings purely because they wanted to watch a monster-slaying fantasy epic. That does not bring down the quality of the movie itself, just the marketing team. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/14/23 Full Review Zane Victor V The worst movie I have ever seen… Just go watch “A Monster Calls”, it’s so much better than this hunk of sh*t. If I could give it zero stars, I would… Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/29/23 Full Review Steve C A film about transitory (?) mental illness ... Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/25/23 Full Review Andrea C A solo un anno di distanza da "7 minuti dopo la mezzanotte" questo film ne ripercorre tutti i principali temi senza fare sostanziali modifiche; ad eccezione forse della location più estiva e dei colori più vividi ed accesi.Il tema sicuramente è di interesse ma manca quasi totalmente l'innovazione nell'affrontarlo e anzi, la sceneggiatura sembra un po' troppo incentrata sulla lotta ai giganti immaginari, con un'aggiunta sommaria e mal riuscita relativamente al bullismo.Nonostante questo il finale riesce sorprendentemente ad emozionare.Vengono purtroppo totalmente sacrificati i personaggi dei familiari, tra cui quello potenzialmente molto interessante di Imogen Poots. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/15/23 Full Review Roy V Do you want to know the wonderful things about movies? They reflect the spirit that resides in the minds of writers and producers. And a well delivered movie reflects the actors who have been possed by those spirits!I just get to sit back and drink it all in. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
