Critics Consensus

I Kill Giants' moody magical realism sometimes slips into the mundane, but impressive CGI and a powerhouse performance by Madison Wolfe pack an unexpected punch.

Ambitious, but mistimed.

There should be a separate genre heading for this film: time-wasting droopy fantasy.

It's not Donnie Darko, but it may delight the nerdie tween weirdo in your life.

I Kill Giants is a fantasy, a beautiful allegory of growing up “different” and a deft handling of a storyline that could have been either too cute, or far too adult.

With an imaginative premise framing a poignant tale of acceptance, the film is utterly delightful.

I Kill Giants is a different kind of comic book movie, one that has a heart and soul missing from the current box office fodder. I adored everything about this film and found its complex dream-like narrative poignant as well as refreshing.

Not truly horror. Leaves you guessing if it's fake or not, but of course it is. Sad movie, but really gives you appreciation of life.

I had not heard of this but turned it on about halfway through its showing on tv. Had to go back and see the beginning once i finished it. The symbolism is very deep, i can understand why some people dont like it. I thought it was fantastic and very original.

One of the most brilliantly crafted, atmospheric, realistic movies I've seen in a while. Yes, I know it wasn't marketed correctly, but I am sick to death of people giving it bad ratings purely because they wanted to watch a monster-slaying fantasy epic. That does not bring down the quality of the movie itself, just the marketing team.

The worst movie I have ever seen… Just go watch “A Monster Calls”, it’s so much better than this hunk of shit. If I could give it zero stars, I would…
