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.

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

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

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. Go to Full Review

4/5
With an imaginative premise framing a poignant tale of acceptance, the film is utterly delightful. Go to Full Review
Dan Tabor Cinapse May 29, 2020
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. Go to Full Review

Albus S Apr 28, 2019 They ruined this movie with the ending. They build up the main character as a strong willed, powerful, imaginative, young woman and then they completely destroy her character by turning her into a NORM... It would have been better if she had been killed by a giant... See more
Draco G Mar 31, 2019 psychological fantasy? is that a genre? its all i can think to call this beautiful piece of escapism combined with coming of age drama. See more
Mar 26, 2019 Is this real life or is it just fantasy? This movie walks that thin line the whole movie. I really enjoyed it.
Mar 2, 2019 A tear jerker with a happy ending. Some weaknesses for sure, but it touched me.
Ron S Feb 26, 2019 booooo. Giants were just a metaphor for her issues. Was really hoping it'd turn out the giants were actually real the whole time and not just in her head. See more
Poe P Feb 19, 2019 I Kill Giants is the worst movie I've seen in a while, due to its SJW prototype protagonist. Living in her own echo chamber, rude, annoying, with superior attitude to others. Your main character doesn't have to be likeable but Jesus, give us something we can root for. See more
