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

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 28, 2019

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.

[An] emotionally honest and heartfelt look at figuring out one's path through the difficult journey of adolescence.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 1, 2019

Where many coming-of-age films build their stories around the discovery of a fixed selfhood, "Giant Little Ones" succeeds when it chooses to treat youthful identity as open to shift with accumulated experience.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 27, 2019

Keith Behrman's film comprehends the malleable, often inscrutable nature of desire.
