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.

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.

An odd movie: it’s interesting if you had a similar life experience.

An odd film that deals with the manifestations of a current traumatic experience of the lead character. A bit slow at times, but has a certain appeal due to the subject matter. One really has to stay until the end to grasp the internal conflicts and intrinsic nature of the film. Rewarding and humanizing take on how coping with an emotional loss could be.

A Great film of grounded and fantasy escapism through mental health and psychological struggle of a young girl and family. I kill Giants is raw with emotion as a family is dealing with after effects of cancer claiming a dear family member. A good standout and rarity in the time of Comicbook adaptions and superhero movies.

To find this to be an epic movie, one must believe more than what can be seen with one's two eyes.

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.
