Technically superb, Giant is hobbled by a script that plods earnestly along like the giant at its center, and like him it starts to limp soon after mid-point.

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.

It is a remarkable film in which the responsible ones apply what they learned in 'Loreak' to a more ambitious scenario. [Full Review in Spanish]

Being a beautiful and pleasant experience to eyes and ears, Handia, deserves to be called a DRAMA. I could truly feel the pain and the love that the characters felt. Deserved to be at Goya Awards.

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.

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.
