A supermarket security guard obsesses over a janitor.

Michael Phillips

Chicago Tribune

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.

Rated: 3.5/4

Chicago Sun-Times

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.

Rated: 3/4

Kevin Thomas

Los Angeles Times

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.

Rated: 3.5/5

This is a small film with a big heart, filled with quirky details and likable characters.

Well-conceived but slight character study of a voyeur we could empathize with.

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.

Slow, predictable, boring, a little romantic. Looks more like a project by a film school student than serious movie.

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!

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.

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.
