... Gigantic is comedy of the absurd in its most extreme expression. [Full review in Spanish]

Occasionally rises above its limitations. The operative word is "occasionally."

| Aug 18, 2011

Romance and comedy are deftly balanced in an observation of the beautiful but strange

More like 'bloated.'

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 24, 2009

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 3, 2009

This determinedly nonsensical American indie feels like it was assembled in an off-world quirk factory.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 19, 2009

Not quite this year's hip little indie romantic comedy that could, as it clearly aspires to be, but smart-ish and drily funny while overly littered with twitches and tweaks.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 19, 2009

The kind of mumbling, lank-haired, achingly self-conscious indie rom-com that gives mumbling, lank-haired, achingly self-conscious indie rom-coms a bad name.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 19, 2009

It's slyly misogynistic, dramatically inert, and wastes an intriguing boorish cameo from John Goodman.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 19, 2009

This film is entirely empty: empty of substance, devoid of plausible characters, and without anything like a satisfying style.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 19, 2009

Here the characters drive everything - they're quirky without being annoying, funny without being clownish and odd but realistic. As funny and interesting as it is, however, the film raises more question than it answers.

It's very hard not to get sucked in to the charm of this movie. Dano and Deschanel play their parts to perfection, exuding just the right amount of awkwardness and insecurity to bring the story to life.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 19, 2009

Everything that happens slots neatly into the art house template - wacky leads, wackier supporting players, coy alt-rock soundtrack - but director Matt Aselton doesn't know when to stop.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 19, 2009

Taking his cue from his leading man's minimalist, self-effacing performance, director and co-writer Matt Aselton has fashioned a wry homage to eccentricity.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 19, 2009

Yet there's an echo of Hal Ashby, or even Hal Hartley, in the subversion of easy truisms about relationships, and its primary note - mild anxiety - may make it a cult favourite.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 19, 2009

By the end, I was thoroughly alienated by the movie's twee, self-satisfied empty-headedness and rooting for the homeless man to do his worst.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 19, 2009

An indie comedy that's been kooked to a crisp. Wearing its quirkiness on its sleeve, the whole thing's just too self-consciously strange to engage.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 19, 2009

Gigantic tries so hard to be cute and quirky it forgets it should also try to be interesting.
