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 Jan 21, 2010 Full Review Roger Ebert 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 Jan 21, 2010 Full Review 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 Jan 1, 2010 Full Review Sean Axmaker Seanax.com This is a small film with a big heart, filled with quirky details and likable characters. Mar 25, 2010 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film Engagement with this film requires patience and hinges on the performance of Camandule. Rated: 3/5 Mar 24, 2010 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Well-conceived but slight character study of a voyeur we could empathize with. Rated: B Feb 24, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member very well done and intimate. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Slow, predictable, boring, a little romantic. Looks more like a project by a film school student than serious movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member 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! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
