Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
This is vicarious cinema at its best.

Instead of weighing the film down with spaced-out surfer-dude quotes, director Stacy Peralta traces the sport's origins back to the ancient Hawaiians.

Before seeing Riding Giants, my ideas about surfing were formed by the Gidget movies, Endless Summer, the Beach Boys, Elvis and lots of TV commercials. ... Riding Giants is about altogether another reality.

Peralta has a knack for taking a niche sport and drawing out its universal appeal.
