Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune 01/21/2010
3.5/4
As with the recent Chilean comedy The Maid, Gigante is a sharply acted piece that presents to the audience several forks in the road by which the main character could choose either to escalate matters, or not. Go to Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 01/21/2010
3/4
Going to the movies is, at some level, pure voyeurism -- if they involve people, that is. Transformers don't count. I admire films that consist only or in large part of watching. Go to Full Review Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times 01/01/2010
3.5/5
In his feature debut, Biniez could easily be setting in motion a familiar, suspenseful stalker thriller, but thankfully he is much more concerned with exploring the workings of the human heart with a touch of wistfulness and a dash of humor. Go to Full Review Sean Axmaker Seanax.com 03/25/2010
This is a small film with a big heart, filled with quirky details and likable characters. Go to Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film 03/24/2010
3/5
Engagement with this film requires patience and hinges on the performance of Camandule. Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews 02/24/2010

Well-conceived but slight character study of a voyeur we could empathize with. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

03/08/2020 It is a must see. Again, a truly original, low-key movie, in the vein of its more famous predecessor "Whisky". Ends in a modest exclamation point. Rewarding, stays with you. See more 01/12/2016 very well done and intimate. See more 06/25/2013 Slow, predictable, boring, a little romantic. Looks more like a project by a film school student than serious movie. See more 03/13/2013 Muito bom! Roteiro redondinho, personagem principal muito bem construido, chega a dar agonia da timidez do cabra! O plano final deixa claro a consistencia da direcao! Filme uruguaio, vale a pena! See more 01/31/2013 Esta película pudo ser muda, su fuerte no son los diálogos, pero el sentimiento es genuino, hay empatía y simpatía con el protagonista, el mensaje es transmitido, y no puede dejar de verse. Un poco lenta. See more 01/26/2013 This art house romantic comedy is a little gem of directorial artistry - the focus is on shaping the contours of the main character, and reminds one of Sofia Coppola's "Somewhere". Action fans will die of boredom. See more Read all reviews
