Jonathan Holland The Hollywood Reporter 02/09/2018

Based on real events in the Basque country in the 19th century, Jon Garaño and Aitor Arregi's HANDIA is an engrossing story of two brothers, two ways of life, and a time of dynamic change. Go to Full Review Mikel Zorrilla Espinof 08/08/2019

Deserved to be at Goya Awards. See more 03/29/2018 A slow moving but beautiful film, superb landscapes and it seem to me an authentic re-creation of the Basque country in the early half of the 19th century. I loved it. See more nefasto r 02/03/2018 Between folklore and reality, "Handia" is a visually amazing story of two brothers, and even if at the end I had the feeling that the story was stretch a bit too thin, it did not bore me because of the beauty and poetry in it.
