Franky Winter and Ballas Kohl have been best friends since childhood. They are high school royalty: handsome, stars of the swim team, and popular with girls. They live a perfect teenage life - until the night of Franky's epic 17th birthday party when Franky and Ballas are involved in an unexpected incident that changes their lives forever.

Critics Consensus

Giant Little Ones puts a complex and refreshingly nuanced spin on the traditional coming of age drama, further elevated by the admirable efforts of a talented cast.

3.5/4

Finally, a film about teenage sexuality and its inherent fluidity that has something authentic and intelligent to say.

3/4

Unlike so many coming-of-age films, Behrman shows the intelligent approach of presenting that while one incident may eventually be a major mile marker, it's not always immediately obvious how much impact will be made.

8/10

The script is filled with smart observations and endearing character work, and it’s supported by strong direction and a very able ensemble.

4/5

While this is another film that depicts a fairly negative gay experience and returns often to locker-room sequences to keep people watching, the stakes are high enough to make this an entertaining ninety minutes.

What is giant and little? Well, through my laborious process I have observed that if I devert my eyes in the downward direction, I will notice that I have a rather strenuous bulge emerging from my ole' knickerbockers. Would you

I really liked this movie. It felt like an original coming of age movie. Although some of the story i had seen many times, i feel the acting and writing was not so predictable. I also liked the point not every one has to have a label and be defined. Sometimes it is what it is. The dad had the best line with that sentiment. I know a lot will hate the one friend who turns his back, but i felt bad for both of them.

im so glad I got to see this poorly marketed film. The story is one that few will admit is hardly uncommon between the sexes. Male sexuality has never been allowed to be expressed fluidly as it has for women. The pressures of high school made this the anti- "Love, Simon". It has a great score and great soundtrack. Unfortunately, few have and it seems will see this important film.

Loved this movie. Touching and heartfelt movie regarding a teen's sexual exploration; all the characters (and the story behind them) were brought to the screen by great storytelling. Some really touching scenes in the movie without being melodramatic. Loved this movie. I'd go see it again.

Excellent acting and cinematogra[hy - the story is very thought provoking - I had a reaction to the kind of interactions in Franky's family - lots of intolerance and lots of being judgmental - until the crisis occurred ... In fact the whoel town seemed to be highly judgmental and intolerant of others opr diference. I wonder it it was intentional? The effort to decreseae negatuve judgement and increase tolerance seemed to focus almost entirely on sexual attraction - which seemed to be the focus - not so much sexual orientation or identity - Like I said thought provoking
