Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
One of those indies that seems to be trying to top the quirkiness quotient of Juno.

rotten:
Gigantic plays like a Sundance movie with half the nouns removed; fetchingly cryptic for a while, it's ultimately just obscure.

Zooey Deschanel is the most delightful young actress in Hollywood.

fresh:
The characters are richly layered and well acted. John Goodman is a standout as Deschanel's dad, a rich blowhard with a sweet candy center.

fresh:
'Gigantic' is a film that succeeds by wearing the viewer down, as an infuriatingly coy, self-conscious first act gives way to a sweet and affecting climax.
