About This Movie

A Season of Giants takes you into the heart of the Renaissance, where the lives of Michelangelo, Raphael, and Leonardo Da Vinci intersect with the chaos of their time. The film captures the tension between artistic brilliance and the harsh realities of political strife and religious persecution. Mark Frankel's portrayal of Michelangelo is intense, filled with a brooding depth that reflects the weight of his genius. The pacing ebbs and flows, allowing moments of reflection amidst the tumult of discovery and creation. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, do a fine job of immersing you in the era. It’s a blend of artistry and history that holds its own, even if it doesn’t always fully explore the characters’ depths.
